... to put a question mark at the end of the following sentence?
I wonder why he had to go home so early?
Because to me, it's a statement... But I always see it punctuated with a question mark... =-\

i don't think it would have a question mark at the end.. to me it is kinda more of someone's thought than directly asking..

If you were using this sentence as a thought that you, yourself were thinking, then you would put it in quotes as well as the question mark. However, if you are reading it as I see it here, then I would say no question mark. it is simply something that you were thinking about...

I think it needs a question mark, because it sounds like a question to me. When you "wonder" about something, isn't that a type of question?

i think it shouldnt be punctuated with a question mark because its more of a statement than a question. if it was a question it would be more direct. its still pretty obscure.

I do agree with the first person who answered your "?". If you had said, "Why did he go home so early?" Then you would use the "? mark"

Listen to Ocho Cinco; his answer is short, but correct.
