Single-work.php vs content-testimonial.php

Looks like both of are used for embed posts onto another page. So what's the difference? When should I use content-, and when should I use single- ?

Thanks

Content is just a custom template that's created for a specific purpose, a unique page template perhaps. Imagine having a contact form page styled different from all your other pages so you'd make a contact.php template and a page.php template.

Single is just for a single post. Again, there's a differing version of this template type for different purposes.
