Quotation Marks: British vs. American Style

English writing mein quotation marks ka sahi use bohot important hai, especially jab aap academic ya professional writing kar rahe ho. Lekin British aur American English mein quotation marks use karne ke rules thore different hain.

🔤 Quotation Marks kya hotay hain?

• Kisi ka quote likhne ke liye
• Short works ke titles batane ke liye (jaise articles, poems, etc.)

🇺🇸 American Style

American English mein mostly double quotation marks (" ") use hote hain. Agar quote ke andar doosra quote ho to uske liye single quotes (' ') use hote hain.

American style mein commas aur periods hamesha quotation marks ke andar aate hain.
