If you are quoting a mixture of speech and non-speech then use contrasting quotes:
When the author writes "'Run!' shouted the boy" ...
If you are just quoting speech then I wouldn't bother with the nested quotes:
When the boy shouts "Run!" ...
Remember that the word "I" is always capitalised.
When the author writes "'Run!' shouted the boy" ...
If you are just quoting speech then I wouldn't bother with the nested quotes:
When the boy shouts "Run!" ...
