How to use quotation marks in British EnglishIn this video we are about to see how to use quotation marks in British English. This is a very useful video because most of us confuse the usage of quotations and the meaning it renders. There are two forms of quotations single and double. A single quote contains only one inverted comma and the double contains two inverted commas. A double quote is used for direct speech or actual quotations. Whenever a person says something a comma is given and then starts the double quote. The punctuation mark involved must be within the double quotes. Whenever there is a usage of quote more than two lines it is usually intended and a line space is left before and after the quotations. When there is a quote inside a quote then the inner part is given single inverted comma. So the single quotes are given to represent a special word in a sentence or name of person, etc., and the punctuation marks are outside the quote.
