Interesting fact
Spanish uses inverted punctuation at the beginning of a question to alert the reader that a question is about to follow. In English, word order indicates to a reader whether a sentence is a question or a statement, but in Spanish, the word order can be the same for both, with only the question marks indicating the difference. For example:
Te vas a casar. – You are getting married.
¿Te vas a casar? – Are you getting married?
