Not sure when to use a question mark? Confused as to where it should go? Probably not as it’s one of the easiest bits of punctuation to get right. But here’s a quick recap.
Do use a question mark
At the end of a sentence with a direct question: ‘is kick-off at 7.45pm tonight?’
In brackets when you’re not sure of a fact: ‘he was born in 1588 (?) in London.’
Don’t use a question mark
At the end of an indirect question: ‘the teacher asked the class what they were doing.’
When it’s a polite request: ‘would everyone without the right form please move to the front.’
With other punctuation: ‘he said what?!’
More than once: ‘want to get fit for the summer?????’
