Quotation Marks

Quotation marks (“…”) are used to show that we are writing the exact same words that someone else said. We use them when we write a direct quotation.

Example:
“ I will meet you at seven o’clock,” Mark said.
I will meet you at seven o’clock are the same words Mark said.

If we said Mark said that he would meet me at seven o’clock, this would be an indirect quotation. We are describing what Mark said but we may not be using his exact words.
