When used in a sentence, what is the difference between " and ' ?

The above site will reveal all !

There is no diffrence between them, however if you need to use a quote inside a quote use the other one. Example:

"Rachel told me to 'get on with the work' even though she isn't here" said Sam.

you can start with ' and then use " though it doesnt matter.

Hope that didn't confuse you even more, and sorry for the gay example :p

Usually " is used for quotes and ' is used for words that end with s

For example Columbus's men would be wrong sooo Columbus' men is right :D

" <-- is used when someone is speaking id "the sun is bright" said charlie

' <---- is used when quoting something i.e. 'A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.' Martin Luther King

hmmm, i were taught it were the other way around, although i agree with the statement about the S' example :D
