⌨️ Lesson: Type the Question Mark (?)
The question mark (?) is typed with Shift + /. Hold left Shift with your left pinky and tap the key with your right pinky. These 4 exercises take it from a single tap to real-world uses, with a live keyboard showing the exact fingers.
How to Type the Question Mark (?) Correctly
The question mark — also called question symbol, interrogation point — lives on the bottom row of a standard US keyboard. Hold the left Shift key with your left pinky, tap / with your right pinky, then release both. It shares the slash key. Hold the left Shift, then tap with your right pinky.
The question mark ends questions and appears in web addresses before query strings. Practising it now means you can type it without looking down when you meet it in emails, code, passwords or documents.
Note: keys can move on non-US layouts (UK, German, French and others), so if the symbol does not appear, check that your keyboard language is set to US English.
Hold left Shift with your left pinky and press the / key with your right pinky.
Your right pinky types the / key. The left pinky holds the left Shift key, so both hands share the work.
