   That’s an interesting question! Here are a few quotes that could sound more “dubious” with added quotation marks:

   1. “I did not ‘eat’ the cake.” – This suggests some kind of evasion or denial.

   2. “He is an ‘expert’ in his field.” – The quotation marks imply that there might be some skepticism about his expertise.

   3. “I will ‘definitely’ be there.” – This makes it seem like there’s a lack of certainty behind the promise.

   4. “She said it was ‘fine’.” – The word “fine” in quotes raises doubts about the true nature of her feelings.

   5. “Everyone loves ‘my’ cooking.” – This implies that the speaker might not really believe that everyone enjoys it.

   Using quotation marks can definitely shift the tone and convey a sense of irony or skepticism!
