Answer: Word Order for Dialog Tags That Use Pronouns

[chomiji]

china_shop asked us "Does the word order in speech tags change based on whether a pronoun or proper noun is used?"

Or in other words, are there actual rules about whether you should be saying "Sebastian said" or "said Sebastian" – or, for that matter, "He said" or "Said he"?
