Example of Using Quotation Marks

The quotation marks (""), are orthographic signs, which are intended to separate and highlight words, phrases, paragraphs or quotes.

There are three types of quotation marks:

1. Latin quotation marks, which are also known as angled quotation marks («»).
2. English quotation marks, these are the most used and are represented by these signs (“”), and
3. Single or natural quotation marks (‘’).

All these quotation marks have the same functions in the texts and are combinable in cases where other text must be highlighted in a quotation or in text previously with quotation marks.

Examples of the use of quotation marks:

Quotation marks when citing a title:

1. We present to you "The force of the will".
2. They will need to buy the book "Basic Psychology".
3. That man is a "Colonel."
4. A report from "El Imparcial" was used.

2. Said the player, "I scored on the right wing."

1. That was "super-nominated."
2. Send an "email".

In the case of double quotes, its application would look like this:
