When so you use italics?

*To emphasize a word or phrase.* This can be used for a variety of purposes, such as to draw attention to something important, to convey a sense of urgency, or to create a sense of drama.

*To indicate a foreign word or phrase.* This is often used when a word or phrase does not have a direct translation in the language you are writing in.

*To indicate the title of a book, movie, TV show, or other work of art.* This is a common convention in writing and helps to distinguish the title from the rest of the text.

*To indicate a thought or an internal monologue.* This is often used in fiction writing to convey what a character is thinking or feeling without explicitly stating it.

*To indicate a scientific name or term.* This is often used in scientific writing to distinguish a scientific name from the common name of a plant or animal.
