Hey everyone! A quick little tip for the people who don't know— you can't put quotation marks inside of quotation marks. When you're writing dialogue and your character is quoting another person, use ', not "!
For example:
"I don't know. They said I needed to 'behave' and 'act civilized' and not to 'set the yard on fire like I did last time.'"
NOT:
"I don't know. They said I needed to "behave" and "act civilized" and not to "set the yard on fire like I did last time.""
I've seen the latter around a lot. Quoting inside of dialogue is tricky!
