Punctuate thoughts in Spanish?
0
votes
I'm doing a creative writing piece for a Spanish class, and have been using long dashes (—) to indicate speech. What should I use if someone is thinking? I feel like I should use these (« »). Is it okay to use them even if all of the speech has used the dashes?

Maybe you could use italics + parenthesis to convey that it´s a different voice
For instance:
Me voy al cine
¿A qué hora regresarás?
No te preocupes. Volveré temprano. (Ni sueñes que dormiré acá esta noche)
