The opening question mark should always be placed inside the quotation marks or before the quoted text in dialogues, while the closing question mark should be placed inside the closing quotation marks. For example:
- Did she say, "I'll be there at 5 o'clock"?
- "What are you doing tonight?" she asked.
- Did she say, "I'll be there at 5 o'clock"?
- "What are you doing tonight?" she asked.
