?Question
Marks
You
can't miss this plate. It adds a zesty curve to questions.
Question
Marks appear:
-
At the
end of sentence to tell us that the sentence is a question:
Do you
understand?
What
time is it?
Who
is the most
prominent
political figure today?
Helen
asked, "How do I get to Newing Hall?"
Did
Gabe say, "I'll meet you there."?
Chef's
Notes:
Notice the location of the question mark in each case.
-
With
Questionable Material - When the accuracy of a piece of information,
a partial word, or a date or number is in question, use the question mark.
In other words, some bit of material just before the question mark may
not be exactly correct. Notice that the question mark appears within brackets:
The
calibration (?) of the car wheels is off.
Christopher
Columbus discovered America in 1492 (?) and claimed the land for Spain.
-
In between
the phrases of a series of questions:
For
vacation, would you like to go to the Catskills? to the Jersey Shore?
to Florida?
