Question mark before or after quotes?
In the United States, the question mark usually goes before the closed quotes. For example: you asked, "Does the question mark go before or after the quotes?" In that case the question mark indicates your statement in quotes is a question. The statements, "for example." and "you asked," are not part of the question. Your punctuation should indicate that. In the rare situation where the entire sentence would be a question, and the last part would be quoted, it would be acceptable to put the question mark after the quotes. If the entire sentence was a quotation, the question mark would go inside the quotes. In American English, the punctuation exists for the benefit of the reader. It should serve to make what you have written more readable and more understandable.
