Single quotation marks (‘i’):
- Often used for quotes within quotes
- Preferred for dialogue or emphasis in British English instead of double quotes.
- Used to highlight a term ironically or as a concept
Double Quotation Marks (“I”):
- Standard for quoting speech or text in American English
- Used to denote titles of short works (articles, poems, etc.).
An apostrophe inside a word (like don’t or can’t), that’s a contraction, meaning letters have been omitted.
Quotation marks, also known as speech marks or inverted commas, are primarily used to enclose and set off direct quotations, titles of short works (like articles or poems), and words or phrases used in a specific or unusual way. In some cases, quotation marks can be used to express skepticism or sarcasm towards a word or phrase

A metaphor directly states that one thing is another, while an analogy explains how two things are similar, often to clarify a concept or make a point
metaphors are considered broader than analogies. Metaphors compare two unrelated things, often symbolically, while analogies draw a comparison between two things that are similar in some way, often for explanatory purposes.
A metaphor is something, a simile is like something, and an analogy explains how one thing being like another helps explain them both.
