My question is about questions.  When I first read this I overlooked the
punctuation mark at the end and understood it as a statement not a
question.  Are there any clues I am overlooking in determining whether a
sentence is a statement or a question?  In other words, how can one decide a
sentence is a question without the aide of a question mark?  Interrogative
pronouns are often used in sentences as in the verse above.  So what clues
am I missing?
