In modern texts they are often omitted altogether (though this is still sometimes frowned on):Il l’interrogea:- Vous êtes arrivé quand?- Pourquoi cette question? Je n’ai rien fait de mal.- C’est ce que nous allons voir.Note the short dash in this case that introduces each new speaker. Even if inverted commas had been used in the above dialogue, they would have been opened before vous and closed after voir, and not used at other points.English-style inverted commas are used in French to highlight words in a text:Le ministre a voulu "tout savoir" sur la question.† Note that, unlike English, French has a space before ! and ? and: and ;, e.g. Jamais !, Pourquoi ? etc. This is not usual, however, in dictionaries, where it would take up too much room.‡ Single inverted commas are not much used in French.
