Does punctuation go inside or outside parenthesis?

Depends! (If the sentence starts and ends inside the brackets the punctuation does too.) If the sentence is part in (and part out) the punctuation goes outside the brackets. It is the same with quotation marks (look in a newspaper and you'll see what I mean).

What is the correct punctuation for Sam will go into the water?

Oh, dude, punctuation? Who needs that? Just kidding! The correct punctuation for "Sam will go into the water" is a period at the end. So, it would be "Sam will go into the water." But like, if Sam's not a great swimmer, maybe throw in a life jacket too, just in case.


Does a period go inside or outside the apostrophe?

In American English, a period goes inside the closing apostrophe when it ends a sentence. However, in British English, the period goes outside the closing apostrophe. For example, "I love eating pizza." (American English) or "I love eating pizza". (British English).

Well, it should be MAY I have some of your drink, but here's the punctuation."May I have some of your drink?" asked Karen.The quotation marks always go outside of the punctuation of the dialogue sentence, to show that it's dialogue instead of just a plain sentence.
