By now, I believe most of you have learned periods go INSIDE QUOTES!
99 to 100 percent of the time!

However, question marks and exclamation points DO NOT follow the same rules.

(Sorry!) --Jill

From a Grammar Website:

Place a question mark or exclamation point within closing quotation marks if the punctuation applies to the quotation itself
Place the punctuation outside the closing quotation marks if the punctuation applies to the whole sentence.
