We always end a sentence with a period but sometimes we can use a question mark instead. A question mark should be used when you are writing a question. It works in the same way as a period and should only be written at the end of the sentence that asks something. Once it appears, the next word should be capitalized as it is a new sentence.

Each short sentence will end with either a period, exclamation or question mark. Read each phrase aloud to help you decide which one would need an answer.
|
If a question needs just a 'yes' or 'no' answer it is called a 'closed' question but if you can answer in sentences, then it's an 'open ended' question.

The word 'what' tells a reader immediately that you are being asked a question and you need to reply.

If we are asking a question then only a question mark (?) will do. Any other form of punctuation is incorrect.

A frog is an amphibian. They lay their eggs in water, which hatch into tadpoles.

Remember to only have the punctuation at the end of the sentence/question. Then the next sentence will begin with a capital letter.

You need to make sure the question mark is given only to the question.

Even though a question and exclamation mark look different to a period, they still do the same thing. All three are called 'end stops' because they end a sentence.
