When should you use a question mark in a quotation?

You should use a question mark in a quotation when the quoted material is a direct question. The question mark should be placed inside the quotation marks at the end of the sentence. For example, if someone says, "Are you coming to the party?", the question mark should be included within the quotation marks. However, if the question mark is not part of the original quotation but is added by the person writing or speaking, it should be placed outside the quotation marks.
