How do you set apart a quotation within a quotation?

This sounds crazy but you add an extra quotation mark inside the normal quotations. So here's an example: Sue said to me, "The quote, 'May the force be with you', is my favorite quote from the movie Star Wars."
Hope this helps!

There are two ways to do this.

The first way is the American English way. You would use double quotation marks (“…”) for a quotation and single quotation marks (´…´) for the quotation inside the first quotation.

The second way is the British English way. It works in the opposite way than the American English way: single quotation marks for a quotation and double quotation marks for the quotation inside the first quotation.
