The ” is in a way the only right sign in the most of the western world, so always try to use that.

The ‘ is used in rare occasions where you have ” inside “, but in general should you avoid that because it is not correct to use ‘

On the US, the double quote marks are used to surround a direct quote. Dave said, “man, it’s cold”.

The single quote indicates a quote within a quote. “Dave explained “And then Beth said ‘no, I don’t think it’s cold’. Can you believe that?”

But it’s different in other English speaking places
