Inverted commas are positioned so that the first one is right-leaning, and the second one is left-leaning, coming after the ending punctuation mark of the direct speech sentence.
Inverted commas are also used when trying to stress a curious use of a word: that is, to illustrate that a word is not used as it normally is, or simply to emphasise it.
Inverted commas are also used to mark proper nouns that could be mistaken for common nouns, such as at sentence beginnings.
