(2) British usage: use single quotation marks first, then double quotation marks; If the quoted content is a phrase, punctuation marks such as comma and period are outside quotation marks; if it is a sentence, punctuation marks such as comma and period are inside quotation marks. For example:

For example, the word "bread" has both standard and slang meanings.

The witness said, "I clearly heard him say,' Don't be late', and then I heard the door close."
