Hi @Dalisha,
Usually, in Python, when you want to comment something, as you’ve mentioned you used the hash symbol - #.
In regards to Quotation marks, they are used when you want to specify some string, text or similar stuff. Let me show you an example:
Quotation marks
variable = "This is a string"
Comment
# The bellow variable is commented by the use of the hash symbol.
# variable = "This is a string"
