Ways to Enhance Dialogue

We know the phrases, "he said," or "she said."  What other words can you use to show that two people are talking to each other?  Some words just have to do with questions and answers.  The class came up with some:
said
asked
responded
replied
answered

Some words have to do with ways of expressing emotions.  He or she:
giggled
sighed
exclaimed
smiled
laughed
cried
growled
groaned

Vary your writing by specific words that suit the dialogue.  You are the artist: express yourself!
