What is a "quotation mark"?
A quotation mark is a punctuation mark used to indicate the beginning and end of a direct quote or to highlight specific words or phrases. In English, quotation marks come in pairs, typically represented as “ ” or ' '. For example, in the sentence "She said, 'Hello,'" the quotation marks show that the words within them are the exact words spoken by someone. Quotation marks are also used to denote titles of short works, such as articles or poems, and to indicate irony or special meaning. By clearly defining quoted text, quotation marks enhance clarity and accuracy in writing.
