He said that the car was “pretty”.
I know that the person asked me for the proof but I’m misunderstanding single quotes and double quotes. Can any one explain the reason and I should use English

I think it will be agreed that this is either a matter of your style guide or your own stylistic preference.
Double quotes are used a lot for words and usage of particular words. I have used some in a book that contains about 2500 words. ‘ for quotes. and single quotes for quotes.
In America, double quotes seem to be used for both, whereas Australia (and possibly Britain) tends to use the reverse of my style.
As for the full stop, I like to put it outside of the quotation marks if it is not part of the quote.
From this point of view, I would write
the sentence as follows: He said the car was ‘pretty’.
