Inverted commas- are used to show direct speech. Direct speech is a sentence in which the exact words spoken are reproduced in inverted commas.
Steps to success-

2. Inside the first inverted comma write your direct speech. Capital letter at the beginning!

Steps to success, possession (a word that already ends in an s)-
1. Find your singular noun. This would be the subject of your sentence.
2. If your singular noun already ends in an s just add the apostrophe to the word.
Example: Charles’ armour was heavy.
