Speech are used when someone is speaking in a text or book. Speech marks are used in books and in text to tell the reader that someone is speaking.  For example.

“Go to the shop and buy the paper,” said Mum, “don’t forget the

shopping bag.”

When using speech marks you need to make sure that all your punctuation  is inside the speech marks. For example:

“Go and tidy your bed room.” Dad ordered.

We use speech marks because it make it easier for the reader to see when someone else is speaking.
