What do inverted commas look like?

Inverted commas, also known as quotation marks, can look like this:

* Straight quotes: " "

* Curved quotes: “ ”

The type of inverted commas used depends on the style guide or personal preference.

Here are some additional points:

* Straight quotes are often used in American English, while curved quotes are more common in British English.

* Straight quotes are generally used for quoting text, while curved quotes are often used for indicating a word or phrase that is being defined or used in a special way.

* Some style guides prefer using single quotes ( ' ' ) for quotes within quotes.

Ultimately, the specific type of inverted commas you use will depend on the context and your preferred style guide.
