The Interrogative Mark or Note of Interrogation (Interrogation Point / Question Mark) is used after a word or a sentence asking a question.
What’s that got to do with it?
How do you spell magnificent?
The Interrogative Mark is not used:—
(a) After a polite request:
Will you please pass the sugar.
Would you mind posting this.
(b) When a question is asked in an indirect manner:
I asked him who his doctor was.
He wanted to know when he might go.
