In UK, single quotation marks are used for primary quotes whereas double quotes are used in US. In U.S style, full stops are placed within the quotes. It is placed outside in UK style. In US English, a comma is placed after e.g and i.e. whereas it is not used in the UK style of writing. In UK english, brackets normally mean (). In US this is called a parenthesis and are normally denoted by [].

Hey Sonam. When it comes to US english you have to concentrate on many things. But since you are aware of UK style, you wouldn’t find it hard to differentiate between the two. For example, ‘shall’ is commonly used as the first person point of view in UK, while in US it is ‘will’. In UK style it is “in a team” whereas in US style it is “on a team”. Also, in American english, collective nouns are singular.
