Question marks (?)

1. Use a question mark at the end of only a direct question.

Example: The question is, “is it right or not?”

Example: The question is whether it is right or not.

2. Use a question mark to show uncertainty, mostly within
parentheses or brackets.

Example: This incident occurred many years (?) ago.

Apostrophe (‘)

1. Use the apostrophe for contractions.

Example: It’s the best strategy ever offered.

Example: We have designed this course and its contents for you.
NOTE: “its” is also a
possessive pronoun and needs no apostrophe when used this

way.
