Rules about quotation marks • Periods and commas always go inside quotation marks, even inside single quotes • If a question is in quotation marks, the question mark should be placed inside the quotation marks. • When you have a question outside quoted material AND inside quoted material, use only one question mark and place it inside the quotation mark. • Use single quotation marks for quotes within quotes. Note that the period goes inside all quote marks. • Use quotation marks to set off a direct quotation only
