If the quoted words end with a full stop, then the full stop goes inside the quotation marks. If the quoted words do not end with a full stop, then the full stop goes outside the quotation marks:
He said: "I love you."
She has read "War and Peace".
Note that in US English, the full stop usually goes inside the quotation marks in all cases:美式用法中,任何情形之下句點都落在引號內。
He said: "I love you."
She has read "War and Peace."
However, US English adopts the British style for question marks and exclamation marks:
He said: "Do you love me?"
Have you read "War and Peace"?
Can you imagine? He has never read "War and Peace"!
