SHOULD THERE BE A QUESTION MARK OR NOT? IT'S AN INDIRECT QUESTION BUT AN ANSWER WOULD BE EXPECTED.

There's a party later if you're interested.

There's a party later if you're interested?

  • Welcome to EL&U. For us to be able to help, please [edit] your post to explain what you intend the statement to mean, and why you think there should or should not be a question mark based on your understanding. Otherwise, we are just making guesses. I strongly encourage you to take the site [tour] and review the [help] for guidance on asking strong questions. Our sister site for English Language Learners may also be of interest. – choster May 06 '19 at 18:54
  • One other bit of advice: DON'T SHOUT, it's quite unnecessary and somewhat discourteous. Use bold instead: on our site you can make it bold by putting a double asterisk ** on either side of the words you want to emphasise. :-) – Chappo Hasn't Forgotten May 07 '19 at 12:22

No, because it is a declarative statement.

There should be a comma though.

There's a party later, if you're interested.

  • Also, there should be no assumption that an answer is coming. One might simply respond, "Thanks for telling me". – mike65535 May 06 '19 at 19:46
