Let’s go through each sentence one by one and decide which punctuation mark to use at the end.
We have three options:
-
Full stop (.) → for regular statements or commands that aren’t excited or questioning.
-
Question mark (?) → for questions — when you’re asking something.
-
Exclamation mark (!) → for strong feelings like surprise, excitement, or emphasis.
