(") are quotation marks, we use them them by quoting someone for example, in a story it would say...

"I dont want to go!" said Bob.

(') is an apostorphe. You can use them in quotes for example

" 'I dont want to go!' said Bob."

Here I am quoting the the Bob statement.

The apostrophe can also be used in the ommison of letter for a word for example

~don't=do not

~won't

~wouldn't
