Should a comma be used after a dialogue tag and before the word ”as”. For example: > ”I don’t like this at all, ” he said, as the door closed behind them. > Or > ”I don’t like this at all, ” he said as the door closed behind them. Is the comma required? Is this proper to extend a sentence after a dialogue tag? Thank you!
