1. Question Mark Inside the Quote:
* If the original text ends with a question mark, keep it within the quotation marks.
Example: "Are you sure this is the right path?" she asked.
2. Question Mark Outside the Quote (If the Entire Sentence Is a Question):
* If your entire sentence containing the quote is a question, put the question mark outside the closing quotation mark.
Example: Did she really say, "Are you sure this is the right path?"
3. Question Mark Inside and Outside (If the Quote Is a Question Within a Question):
* If the quote is a question, and your sentence is also a question, put a question mark inside the closing quotation mark and another outside.
Example: Did she really ask, "Are you sure this is the right path?"?
Important Note:
* Always maintain the original punctuation within the quote. If the original text has a period or a comma, keep it.
Example:
Original text: "This is a lovely day," she said. "The birds are singing."
Your quote: She said, "This is a lovely day. The birds are singing."
