When a quotation appears within a quotation what the punctuation marks?
The inner quotation is treated just like the outer quotation in terms of capitalization, commas etc., but the quotation marks are single rather than double.
e.g. She replied, "He only exclaimed, 'I don't like you anymore!' and walked away."
Before both quotations, the inner and the outer, there is a comma. The punctuation completing each quotation is still within the appropriate quotation marks - the exclamation point at the end of the internal exclamation is inside the internal quotations. However, the quotation marks for the inner quotation are single (like apostrophes - ' ) instead of double (as usual - " ).

A punctuation mark is put at the end of a sentence to denote the conclusion of an idea. The punctuation mark used here is mainly a period.

An exclamation mark is used to add emphasis to the before-stated material.
