1. 'I don't understand', said Pat, ‘why we need passports to travel to other EU countries.'


2. 'I don't understand, ’ said Pat, ‘why we need passports to travel to other
EU countries.'


Which sentence is punctuated the British way, and which is the American way, especially with regard to the word "understand"?

Thanks.

"I don't understand," said Pat, "why we need passports to travel to other EU countries." – American
