Are these punctuation rules for UK English?

[@EasyTeachingNet]

They apply to UK English

[@Scotland_Scorpion]

@@EasyTeachingNet Thank you for replying so quickly.

[@qing7902]

when the direct speech comes first in a sentence, and an exclamation/ question mark is used, do you capitalise the dialogue tags that come after? It's just that (at roughly 3:09 ), I saw that they didn't have capital letters, but in other cases I've seen, in my own experience, they do.

[@EasyTeachingNet]

I'm a little confused by what you mean. At 3:09 the sentence is: "Are the shops closed?" asked Mr Willis.
The only capitals needed here are at the beginning of the sentence (Are) and the proper noun (Mr Willis).

[@AnnaMaledonPictureBookAuthor]

Dialogue tags in those cases are not in capital letters even though they come after a question mark or an exclamation mark. It's like one sentence. The same happens following a comma inside the quotation marks.
She said, "We need more bread."
But if you start with a direct speech: "We need more bread," she said.
Or another variant: "We need more bread!" she said. But: "We need more bread!" Anna said.
Or: "Do we need more bread?" she asked. But: "Do we need more bread?" Anna asked.
Or: She said, "Do we need more bread?"
Or: She said, "We need more bread!"
It's confusing, I know! And some people have different opinions about when to use "said" and when to use "asked".
