Hi friends, Do I need a question mark (?) at the end of the following sentence? May I know when the next exam is? May I know when the next exam is. Thanks in advance. Niwantha

Yes. It's a direct question, and direct questions always need a question mark. But the words are much more important than the punctuation. When we begin a question with "May I", we're asking for permission to take an action. But that's not the case here. I would suggest that you change the wording of your question: When is the next exam? Could you tell me when we'll have our next exam?

Howdy Niwantha. Yes. This sentence is a question so it needs a question mark at the end.
