Capitalization after speech quotes (part 2)?

Question

1"Girls and boys get in the way of friendships." He looked away...
2"They look like one of those groups that stay friends forever, huh?" He looked at her...
3"I'll see you soon." She kissed his nose...
4"Alright then, let's go." He turned to look...
5"He's thinking about you but he can't reach out to you." She paused and straightened cautiously...
6"They're the best kids! And anyway..." He leaned toward her..
7"There's no 'it!'" He hoisted the backpack...
8"Don't talk about things like that." And with that he walked...


Can you tell me if this is grammatically correct? "He suddenly felt as if he were sitting next to the second Cheshire Cat."
And this: "...but spoke in a confidantly superior tone."
And this: "The brunnettes other eyebrow raised.." Raised or rose?
And this: Is it T-shirt, t-shirt, or T-Shirt?
Aaaand: Is it all right or alright?

Thank you so much! :)

Answer 1

"He suddenly felt as if he were sitting next to the second Cheshire Cat." is correct.

"...but spoke in a confidantly superior tone." has a spelling error "confidantly" should be "confidently."

And this: "The brunnettes other eyebrow raised.." Raised or rose? It should be "rose" and you need an apostrophe in "brunette's" (and drop one of the n's.")

"Is it T-shirt, t-shirt, or T-Shirt?" It's T-shirt.


"Is it all right or alright?" That depends on the context:

1. The answers were all right. There were no mistakes. ("all right" means all correct here.)

2. He feels alright now that he's had some rest. ("alright" means OK, fine here.)

Answer 2

If the sentence has to be changed, I'll rewrite it. If it doesn't, I'll write 'Leave as is'.
1) Leave as is
2) Leave as is
3) Leave as is
4) Leave as is
5) Leave as is
6) Leave as is
7) Leave as is (I'm not sure about the grammar though.)
8) Leave as is

"He suddenly felt as if he were siting next to the second Chesire Cat." It's correct, but I think it should be 'a second Chesire Cat' instead of 'the second Chesire Cat'.
"...but spoke in a confidently superior tone." Correct
"The brunettes other eyebrow raised." Incorrect. It's 'The brunette's other eyebrow rose.'
It's T-shirt
I'm don't know about all right and alright. I'm pretty sure it's correct to say "all right" and "alright" is slang. But both are correct although "alright" has never gotten full acceptance.

I hope this helps!

Answer 3

The answers given by Johnslat were correct, but I offer this suggestion: Rearrange many of your action tags to precede the dialogue, not following the dialogue.

The action tags become humdrum because each one follows the dialogue that can often speak for itself.

Answer 4
