How do we insert rhetorical questions into sentences?
I was reading “Quiet” by Susan Cain and a sentence came up that eluded me: What does
it mean to be quiet AND have fortitude? Why are descriptions asked implicitly?
Why did “these” not appear here? If a comment is submitted in a form that can be typed as unquoted, what does this mean?
I haven’t seen one answer that has the proper grammar like this sentence, much less answer what not to add rhetorical questions into a sentence?
The sentence is fine as is, and it is irrelevant, that it is rhetorical. How could a sentence be a longer sentence if the question mark was capitalized?
How do I handle an embedded question: I am
angry! Are you with me on this? What happens to a person when he switch lanes without signaling to switch lanes?
Is it true? What do you think of it? She asked me just once.
When she asked me was it true? I’m so happy for her I just couldn’t lie to myself.
She asked if it was true. If in contrast the question is not there: Can it be mistaken for a “no question mark”? Do you even know exactly what is in question or why?
What is a good lesson for students?
