The usage of question mark and how to use examples.

Question mark is an auxiliary symbol tool of mood and intonation, which indicates a pause after a sentence is finished. The use of question marks in the Chinese we have studied is also particular. The following is the usage of the question mark I brought. Welcome to read!

Usage and examples of question mark

1. Example: Really? Really. Right? Yes! ? . Why can't I go? (rhetorical question)/lend me your pen, will you? (Discussion)/Why not say it? (Question)/Who created the human world? It's us working people. (Question)/Me? Shall we drive or walk? (Optional question)

Explanation: All interrogative sentences, whether they are interrogative, interrogative, rhetorical, alternative, discussion or interrogative sentences that do not need to be answered, end with a question mark.

2. The president can be beaten to death alive, and even the right to sign his real name on the urn is deprived; Marshal Tang was insulted and criticized by ignorant students at the rally; This is disrespectful!

Interpretation: Question marks are generally used at the end of rhetorical questions, but rhetorical questions have a strong tone and strong feelings, and exclamation marks can be used at the end; A mild tone can be regarded as a declarative sentence with a period at the end of the sentence.

Are you in charge of this project or am I in charge?

Note: in the multiple-choice questions, the multiple-choice questions are short, so there is no comma between the multiple-choice questions, and only a question mark is used at the end of the sentence.

4. Example: Are we going to die? Still want to show the ocean?

Explanation: In multiple-choice questions, sometimes a question mark can be added at the end of each clause in order to strengthen the tone.

Note: This usage is rarely tested in exams.

5. What's his name?

Note: This is a general question.

6. Example: China's current literary world (? ), it is not good.

Explanation: If there is any doubt about a word in a sentence, use a question mark.

Note: this usage is not used much. If there is such a sentence, there are two situations: one is that there is no such word (invented by the author), and the other is that there is such a word but the reader or editor doesn't know it, so you can also put a question mark, as in the example? Literary world? )

7. For example: Cao Ye (8 16), a native of Guizhou.

Explanation: If the date of birth or death is unknown or in doubt, it is indicated by a question mark.

8. Note: The question mark is used after the title or subtitle of the article composed of interrogative sentences.

Common misuse of question marks

1. As for who will be the dean of our hospital?

For example, how to treat cross talk between men and women, electric guitar cross talk and group cross talk? (。 )

Interpretation: Non-interrogative sentences misuse question marks.

2. For example: Excuse me, are people born blind happier than those who are only half blind? (,) or just the opposite. (? )

Interpretation: In multiple-choice questions, question marks are only used at the end of sentences, and clauses are separated by commas.

When are you going to Beijing? (,) Director Zhang. (? )

Explanation: In inverted sentences, the question mark is placed at the end of the sentence. The subject and predicate are separated by commas.

Note: if the subject is a monosyllabic word, it is closely related to the previous predicate, and there is no need for punctuation between the subject and the predicate. (Example: Are you going? )

(Note: If it is not printed well, the comma will be misprinted as a question mark. )

Alternative usage of question mark

In this paper, the usage of general questions, rhetorical questions and interrogative questions is regarded as routine usage, while the usage of discussion questions is regarded as? Alternative? Usage, because it does. Alternative? Location. Let's talk about this question mark in a comparative way. Alternative? Usage.

We know that the same meaning can be expressed in sentences with different moods. Like what? It's very hot today? This meaning can be expressed as:

1. It's very hot today. (declarative sentence)

2. Isn't it hot today? (interrogative sentence)

It is really hot today! (exclamatory sentence)

Here we discuss the interchange of declarative sentences and interrogative sentences. From the above examples, it can be seen that in order to keep the meaning basically unchanged, adverbs expressing rhetorical mood should be added (sometimes not) in declarative sentences, adverbs expressing negation should be added before predicates, and question marks should be added at the end of sentences; On the contrary, interrogative sentences are changed into declarative sentences, that is, the modal adverbs and negative adverbs are removed from the sentences, and the question mark at the end of the sentences is changed to a full stop. The exchange formula is:

The declarative sentence is changed into a question: adverb expressing rhetorical mood+subject+adverb expressing negation+predicate+question mark (for example, isn't it hot today? ); Or:

A declarative sentence becomes a question: subject+adverb indicating negation+predicate+question mark (for example, isn't it hot today? )

A question becomes a declarative sentence: subject+predicate+period (for example, it is very hot today. Removed the modal adverb? Is it? And negative adverbs? No? . )
