What are quotation marks used?

Quotation marks are used to indicate direct speech or a quotation from someone else. They are also used to denote titles of articles, essays, poems, songs, chapters, TV shows, or parts of a larger work. Additionally, quotation marks can be used to highlight words used in a non-literal or ironic sense, or to indicate that a term or phrase is being used in a specific way that might differ from its conventional meaning.
