just wondering, what features should i be aware of when we asked to write a conversation/dialogue?

stuff i already know - speech marks, start new sentences when person talking, current tense

Audience - Peers or groups of adults

I don't anything to add but i have a question

When writing a dialogue/conversation is it acceptable to set it ou like this

Person 1: i would have to say ...
Person 2: Oh yes i would agree..

or do you have to use inverted commas?

No, you don't have to use inverted commas.
You only use inverted commas in a conversation if its a conversation WITHIN another text form, eg a story, or if you're quoting someone in say a feature article or a speech (So and so once said "blah blah blah" ...).
