Hi, in your opinion which one would be the correct one?

 

You see, it wasn�t so difficult to do

You see?, it wasn�t so difficult to do

 

Are both of them acceptable?

 

Thanks for you help

Hi Ana,

 

You see! It wasn �t so difficult to do.

You see, it wasn �t so difficult to do! (I prefer this one) 

You see - it wasn �t so difficult to do. 

 

Exclamation marks are a matter of style and preference - I like them, but they are not compulsory in most instances. If you use them, or question marks, in standard English, they can �t be followed by a comma. 

EDIT: Oops, I haven�t really addressed your question, sorry! I don�t think you need a question mark in this particular case. If you had said, �Do you see?� then, you would need it. I think the �you see� here is making a point, not asking whether the person understands. Imagine saying it - is it more a question, or more a �Ha, you see that I am right and it wasn�t so difficult to do�. 

Interesting. 

Thanks a lot, cunliffe!  It really helped!

 

Have a good weekend!

Ana, I �m making a bit of a hash of this. Late night last night. Actually, I think both are acceptable. 

You see? It wasn �t so difficult.... is also fine.

Have a nice weekend, you too.  

A couple of strong coffees will sort me out!

Thanks again, cunliffe!
