Question Marks Flashcards

A question mark is used at the end of a sentence to indicate a direct question.

Example: 'What time is the meeting?'

Rhetorical questions also end with a question mark, even if no answer is expected.

Example: 'Why should we settle for less?'

Question marks are used in dialogue to show a character is asking a question.

Example: 'Are you coming to the party?' she asked.

Question marks can convey curiosity, confusion, or challenge depending on context.

Indirect questions do not use question marks. Example: 'He asked if I was coming to the party.'

Correct use of question marks is essential for achieving technical accuracy in writing (AO6).

Question marks can be used in persuasive writing to engage the reader and provoke thought.
