Just a quickie. Which of these is correct? "What time is it, Fred?' He asked. "What time is it Fred?' he asked. I'm sure you can see where my confusion lies, and I know a capital wouldn't be used if the dialogue ended in the usual comma, but I've never actually bothered discovering the answer.
The tag is part of the same sentence, regardless of the punctuation within the quotes. See the "He said, she said" link in my footer.
