like in an essay. like i want to put in this quote for example: "hi my name is melanie." would i write it as 'hi my name is melanie' or with 3 (quotation and apostrophe) '"hi my name is melanie "'.
If you're in America, you would start with the double quotes and then the inner quote would have the single quotes. She said, "When I called my mom she told me, 'Not now!' and I yelled." But, if you're in England or other English speaking country in Europe, you start a quote with single quotes, and each embedded quotation you add another one, so it would be, she said, 'When I called my mom she told me, "Not now! Your sister said "'Later"' so later!" and I yelled.'
just put it in quote like "hi my name is melanie." if you wanted to quote and put something from what you are quoting and in the quote they are quoting like "melanie went to jan and said 'hi my name is melanie'"
