Find out when and where to use question marks in your writing As shown in the video, a question mark goes on the end of every question. It shows the reader a question is being asked.

You'll also never double-up on punctuation. Use a comma, period, question mark, etc., but don't use two of those in a row. Commas at the end of quoted phrases go inside quotation marks.

The intent: Beware of crafty double meanings—and arched eyebrows—to follow. While this backward question mark is relatively young, writers have been proposing irony symbols since the 1600s.
