Hey, I am here with some more rules which I always follow in writing documents. Without taking much time, I would highlight the rules. They are for using period/question mark:-
Use Period (.)
We all know, it is a punctuation mark. It is placed at the end of independent clause to mark its completeness. It also used after abbreviation.
- Use period at the end of independent clause: My name is Priyanka Singh.
- Use period after an indirect question: John asked Mary where she was yesterday.
- Use period with abbreviations: A.M. , P.M, Dr., i.e., e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms.
- Do not use periods with abbreviation for organizations and associations: TCS (Correct) conversely T.C.S (Incorrect)
- Do not use period for state abbreviations
- Texas (TX)- Correct
- Texas (TX.)- In correct
Use Question Mark (?)
It is a punctuation mark used at the end of a sentence to indicate a question.
Yes, you all are right. It is very simple. Just use the question mark at the end of direct interrogative sentence, but not indirect question sentence.
- Are you going to the office?
- Has she submitted her assignment?
- How old are you?

This is the simplest article on punctuation I have ever came across. Good.
