Quotations mark dialogue between people. Or, quotations set off the written words someone else wrote.

Example 1:

Although many people expect government to take care of their needs, President John F. Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

Example 2:

Snow blanketed the town, closing businesses. "When are you going to shovel that snow?" the mother demanded to know from her son.
