QUOTATION MARK | DOES A QUESTION MARK GO INSIDE OR OUTSIDE?

Updated: Nov 7, 2022




As a copywriter, I need to know this.


That's why I'm blogging about it.


Anyway, as a "note to self" moment, I am going to put this here.


YES - A question mark goes inside the quotation mark.


According to AP style, a question mark is inside quotation marks if that part is the question and outside the quotation marks if the whole sentence is a question.





Personally, I would rather italicize proper nouns but at least now I know this.
