Grammar question...........?
Would you put quotes before/after every sentence if you were to ask a series of questions.
Ex: you think in your head, “what's going to happen to bob?” “Is he going to be shot by bill?” “Is this the reason why bill is scared?” or “what's going to happen to bob? Is he going to be shot by bill? Is this the reason why bill is scared?”

If it is a quote because you are citing a source, i.e. what someone said:
1) When all sentences are right after each other, use only quotes at beginning and end of entire passage.
2) When sentences are split up with words in between that you aren't using, use only quotes at beginning and end of entire passage. But make sure you put . . . or 3 periods in between the words/sentences where there would be words but you didn't add them.
If it is a quote because you are writing a story, i.e. what character said:
1) When there is a list of questions one after another, and are all said by the same person, use only quotes at beginning and end of entire passage.
2) When there is a list of questions on after another, and are said by different people, specify who said each question and use quotes at the beginning and end of each sentence.

No, you'd only put a quote at the beginning and the end of the entire thought segment.
