-The preceding tutorials demonstrated built-in types and types you define as tuples or records. Instances of these types can be checked against a *pattern*. Whether an instance matches a pattern determines the actions your program takes. Let's start to explore how you can use patterns.
+The preceding tutorials demonstrated built-in types and types you define as tuples or records. Instances of these types can be checked against a *pattern*. Whether an instance matches a pattern determines the actions your program takes. In the examples below, you'll notice `?` after type names. This symbol allows the value of this type to be null (e.g., `bool?` can be `true`, `false` or `null`). For more information, see [Nullable value types](../../language-reference/builtin-types/nullable-value-types.md).  Let's start to explore how you can use patterns.
