If you want to print the following: “No!”, she said. You cant use: print(“”No!”, she said.”) Because the quotes will mess up with the string. I believe thats what your sentence there means. But you could use: print(‘“No!”, she said.’) Because then Python will know what you want.

It goes the same with single quotes. You need to use the escape character backslash '\' on each single or double quote to make it work. Check this code: https://code.sololearn.com/cNs0q66noLwf/?ref=app
