Are there double quotes in English?

I used to use it, but now I don't use double quotes.

By the beginning of18th century, quotation marks used in English books had developed into modern quotation marks used in pairs, with high-order reverse commas (') or (') indicating the beginning of quotations and high-order commas (') or (') indicating the end of quotations.

A new development in the use of quotation marks is that the books published in London in 1756 have double quotation marks, with double quotation marks ("") on the outer layer and single quotation marks ("") on the inner layer. Modern British English takes single quotation marks as the basic form of quotation marks, and when two layers of quotation marks are needed, it is single outside and double inside; On the contrary, American English takes double quotation marks as the basic unit, with double outside and single inside.

The predecessor of western quotation marks is the arrow-shaped symbol (), which was used as a symbol in ancient times and added to the blank of the book to attract readers' attention to some parts of the text. In the Middle Ages, its function changed and it was used to mark classic quotations. According to the custom of China people, single quotation marks will be used only when quotation marks are used again in double quotation marks; However, in English, single quotation marks are sometimes used instead of double quotation marks.

Single quotation marks are commonly used in British English, while double quotation marks are commonly used in American English. Mostly used in direct speech. Pay attention to the relative position of other punctuation marks and quotation marks in the sentence: commas and periods are in quotation marks, and single quotation marks can be used when quotation marks are used again. When more than one paragraph is quoted, quotation marks are located at the beginning of each paragraph and the end of the last paragraph.
