What’s the difference between using single and double quotation marks/inverted commas?
How are embedded quotations used?
And:
When should end punctuation go inside quotes?
Is it correct to use “punctuation outside of the quotations”, or “inside?”
Let me know if this belongs on Writers.se. Furthermore, I have a strong feeling this has already been covered, but I wouldn’t know where, since I don’t know what to name this situation.
Moving on, I will express a dialogue like this:
A: “What did he say to you?’
B1: “He leaned close to me, and said in a gravely and drunken voice, “It’s not easy.” ”
Or would it be,
B2: “He leaned close to me, and said in a gravely and drunken voice, ‘It’s not easy.’ ”
Or,
B3: “He leaned close to me, and said in a gravely and drunken voice, “It’s not easy”.”
I’ve tried to be helpful (and probably failed), but let me know.
