One can use single quotes versus double quotes, but in this instance because we have words in our strings that are contractions (and aren't assigned to a contraction by a string like the "do_not = don't" example) then putting a single quote prematurely ends our string. We could change the word on line 22 "Isn't" to "Is not" and then could use single quotes.

 ## Day 1 Questions
 
 1. How would you print the string `"Hello World!"` to the terminal?
+ * I would print the string `"Hello World"` in the terminal by typing in
+```
+ p "Hello World"
+```
 
-1. What character is used to indicate comments in a ruby file?
 
-1. Explain the difference between an integer and a float?
+2. What character is used to indicate comments in a ruby file?
+ * The `#` character will indicate comments in a ruby file without printing it.
 
-1. In the space below, create a variable `animal` that holds the string `"zebra"`
 
-1. How would you print the string `"zebra"` using the variable that you created above?
+3. Explain the difference between an integer and a float?
+ * The difference between an integer and a float is that a float has a decimal
+point `0.001` is an example of a float. This can also be a float `1.0`. An
+integer is a number without a decimal point `23` is an integer, so is `-3`.
 
-1. What is interpolation? Use interpolation to print a sentence using the variable `animal`.
 
-1. What method is used to get input from a user?
+4. In the space below, create a variable `animal` that holds the string `"zebra"`
+```
+animal = "zebra"
+```
 
-1. Name and describe two common string methods:
+
+5. How would you print the string `"zebra"` using the variable that you created above?
+  * `p animal`
+
+
+6. What is interpolation? Use interpolation to print a sentence using the variable `animal`.
+ * Interpolation is putting strings together, I think about it like a collage of strings.
+```
+example:
+animal = "zebra"
+p "I want to ride a #{animal} someday."
+"I want to ride a zebra someday."
+```
+
+
+7. What method is used to get input from a user?
+ * The `gets` method is used to get input from a user.
+
+
+8. Name and describe two common string methods:
+ * `length` is a method that is used to count the amount of characters in a string
+ ```
+  Example:
+  name = "Leigh"
+  p name.length
+  5
+  ```
+
+ * `times` is a method that is used to repeat the times a string is printed by the amount put in before.
+
+```
+ Example:
+ 3.times do
+    p "Hello"
+    end
+    "Hello"
+    "Hello"
+    "Hello"
+```
