Here's how they are used:
* Double quotation marks (" ") are the most common type used in English.
* Single quotation marks (' ') are often used for quotes within quotes.
Example:
"Hello there," said Sarah. "How are you today?"
Note:
* The speaker's words are enclosed in quotation marks.
* A comma is used after the closing quotation mark if there is a tag (e.g., "said Sarah").
* If the tag comes before the quote, a comma is used after the tag.
Other points to remember:
* The speaker's words are always separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma or a question mark.
* Quotation marks are always used in pairs.
* Capitalize the first letter of the first word in a quote.
* Punctuation marks within the quote go inside the quotation marks.
