punctuation - Handling quotes ending in exclamation or question marks





Is it correct to use “punctuation outside of the quotations”, or “inside?”



I've always had trouble dealing with quotes ending in question marks. Any solution has been awkward. What's the best way to use it? Examples (which are probably wrong):



  • Did you know how he asked me "how do you do?"?

  • After he said "Do I know you?", we hit him with some bricks.

  • "Fool!" he exclaimed.
