Quotation marks (“)







                      1.  Use double quotation marks to relate a direct quotation.




                  Example: He always rightly told me: “Work hard. Play hard.”


                                                                                                                NOTE:
                  Comma and period of the quotation stay inside.




                      2.  Use single quotation marks to relate another quotation within
                         quotations.





                  Example: He always rightly told me: “If they ask me ‘What you will
                  do if you are offered one million dollars?’ I will say no clue.”





                      3.  Use  double  quotation  to  introduce  a  technical  term  or  any
                         phrase which is about to be used in an unusual way.


                      Example: This was the best “template” we could ever design
