Background: I'm helping a friend edit their fiction. I'm frequently left confused on anything related to dialogue tags. > “Yes, but I mean no,” Steve stumbles over his words. “Not the come home part.” As far as I can tell, "stumbles over his words" is being treated as a dialogue tag because of the comma in "Yes, but I mean no,". Is that correct?
