How do you punctuate the sentence Was there something wrong with me I wondered?

"Was there something wrong with me?" I wondered.

Here's why:

* Question Mark: The first part of the sentence is a question, so it needs a question mark at the end.

* Quotation Marks: The entire thought "Was there something wrong with me?" is being presented as a direct quote, so it needs quotation marks.

* Comma: The phrase "I wondered" is a dependent clause that follows the independent clause within the quotation marks. It needs a comma to separate it.
