Default Punctuation in a question

Hi All,

Can you suggest me a source where I can read about punctuation used inside or around a question?

Also is the punctuation in the following sentence correct?

Did you finish it already ? or I have to work on it.


Thanks,

MG.

Punctuation in a question will be the same as for any sentence, except that the concluding mark is the question mark.

Your sentence can be written in three ways :

Did you finish it or do I have to work on it?

Did you finish it? Will I have to work on it?

Did you finish it? I have to work on it.


Have you finished it already or will I have to work on it?
is another way of saying this.
