Quotation marks are used in pairs to punctuate titles of songs, books, or other works, and to set off a speaker's exact words. Examples of correct usage include using quotation marks around the title "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and around a character's spoken words like "What's that?" Quotation marks help identify when a passage is a title or someone's specific speech.
