Unfortunately for you Paul, the quotation marks are used in English in
two different situations,

Here is  it explained at Online Writing Lab
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_quote.html

Quotation Marks with Direct and Indirect Quotations
Quoting Prose
Direct quotations are another person's exact words--either spoken or
in print--incor****ated into your own writing.
=B7	Use a set of quotation marks to enclose each direct quotation
included in your writing.
=2E.....
Indirect quotations are not exact words but rather rephrasings or
summaries of another person's words. Do not use quotation marks for
indirect quotations.
=2E.....Quotation Marks for Words
Use quotation marks to indicate words used ironically, with
reservations, or in some unusual way.
The great march of "progress" has left millions impoverished and
hungry.
