"Question marks are generally reserved for sentences that begin with, or at least contain, why, what, when, where, how,
are, will, is, can, how, do, were, or would:
"Will you go to the store with me?"
"Are you going to Rome this weekend?"
("Are you (14,812 posts) that desperate for an audience"
)
"How does that electric can opener work."
"Can I have your extra toaster?"
Remember, a basic rule to follow when writing is if your sentence is asking a question, it must finish with a question mark. Failing to punctuate it properly will likely be noticed and cause confusion. Readers will almost always pick up on missing question marks, as written questions are often very distinct. Did you notice the missing question mark in the examples above?
