I am doing my weekly grammar rule on quotations. Not quotations in every aspect of English, but rather when you are quoted quoting someone. I never have known what to do. Do I double quotation it or what? Well according to Purdue University you use the normal quotations on the first person you are quoting, and then you a half quotation mark . The following is an example.
Last night in the interview the football player said, " I have never been late to practice I don't know why coach said ' That Owens is always late' "
Not the best example but I hope it helps, I know I understand it better now. If you still don't understand it you can go to the follow link for more help.

Quotations are tricky indeed! You might want to watch your spelling and editing in your posts as well. It will help impress the ladys too!
