Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to decide if it should end with a
question mark (?) or an
exclamation mark (!).
Remember:
- Use
? when someone is asking something — like “What?”, “How?”, “Do you…?”
- Use
! when someone is excited, surprised, hurt, or feeling strong emotion — like “Wow!”, “Ouch!”, “I can’t believe it!”
