The Supernatural City Of RavenWood

Hey guys I remember when i started a few years back. I think it was 2017. i wrote only 1 chapter. the next day i got alot of comments and useful ideas from some nice people. So here i am writing another story. im still a beginner story writer so please if you have any good tips let me know. But there is one tip i need that is most important. how can i write what a character is saying and let the reader know? should i write the name in these things( ) or what?
