Hi Trish,
I am wondering if you mean the inversion of subject and verb in direct speech like in :
"Je suis allée voir le médecin hier, " dit-elle. = " I went to see the doctor yesterday," She said .
"Je n'en veux plus chez moi," dit la mère avec fureur. = " I don't want him/her/it in my house," said the mother in anger .
or
Il a décidé de quitter le pays , parait-il. = He has decided to leave the country, it seems ( apparently).
In these cases, no, they are not questions that would always have a question mark at the end.
Let me know if this is what you had in mind.
