When two speakers speak at the same time, indicate this with /, as in:
N: Yes, I have been /living here
K: /Oh you have?
N: for three years.
I.e. ‘living here’ and ‘oh you have’ were said at the same time and N continued on his sentence without stopping.
Use = when two lines come directly after one another without a gap, e.g.
K: Did you like her? =
N: = Yes!
That is a very fast reply.
For short pauses add a full stop, each one representing a second. For pauses longer than 4 seconds, put time in brackets and italicised e.g. [6 second pause]
