What's the best way to use quotation marks in my writing?
assistant
The most common way to use quotation marks in your writing is to enclose a direct quote within double quotes. However, there are other ways that you can use them as well. You can also use single quotes for dialogue or narration and even em dashes for parenthetical thoughts or phrases. Ultimately it depends on what style of writing you're aiming for and how much space you have available to fit the quotation marks into.
