HOW do one plan dialogue( is a conversation between two or more people in a narrative work) and sensory details(when your objective is to get the reader to feel like they are there with you)

Explanation:

Dialogue Planning

Here are some pointers for formatting dialogue in your story:

Use quotation marks and put punctuation inside quotation marks.

Start a new paragraph for each speaker.

Mostly use 'said' instead of more flowery verbs.

Make the dialogue sound like something that someone would really say.

Sensory Details

Look at this example

Grandmother Workman reached over and grabbed her grandson's arm. He was nervous because the staircase was so steep, but she leaned against him and they began to climb.

Compare it with this;

Gandmother Workman lurched over and grabbed the pale skin of Randal's thin forearm with her leathery hand. The folds and creases beneath her skin coiled themselves out like electrical wiring, like the bloated, roughly-textured relief map of the world that his mother just posted above his bedside table. Randal looked ahead toward the winding spiral staircase, fidgeted with a small hole in his baseball jersey, and bit his lip. His mouth filled with the sweet, coppery taste of blood as she leaned in closely toward him, breathing her hot breath on the damp hair at the base of his neck. She smelled of wet cigarettes and bacon. As they slowly climbed the long, steep staircase, the only sound was his grandmothers' labored breathing and the mournful creak of the wooden stairs.

In the sample text 1,The scene seems simple enough, but it leaves the reader with many unanswered questions. Without the inclusion of sensory detail, the writing seems vague and non-specific.

In the sample text 2, visual details help accomplish this through encouraging the reader to create a mental image of the characters, setting, and action.

People have five sense as you know: taste, touch, smell, hearing, and sight. You have to appeal to each of these senses as you never know what your reader prefers.
