Q

The French can ask questions in 3 main ways. What are they?

“Les Français peuvent poser des questions de trois manières principales. Quelles sont-elles ?”

A

The three main ways the French can ask questions are:

  1. Using intonation: in this case, the sentence structure remains the same as a statement, but the speaker raises the pitch of their voice at the end of the sentence to indicate that it is a question.
  2. Using inversion: This involves reversing the subject and verb in a sentence. For example, “Il mange” (He eats) becomes “Mange-t-il ?” (Does he eat?)
  3. Using question words: These are words like “qui” (who), “quoi” (what), “où” (where), “quand” (when), “comment” (how), “pourquoi” (why), etc., which are used to form questions.

In French:
Les Français peuvent poser des questions de trois manières principales :

  1. En utilisant l’intonation : Dans ce cas, la structure de la phrase reste la même qu’une déclaration, mais le locuteur élève le ton de sa voix à la fin de la phrase pour indiquer qu’il s’agit d’une question.
  2. En utilisant l’inversion : Cela implique de renverser le sujet et le verbe dans une phrase. Par exemple, “Il mange” devient “Mange-t-il ?”
  3. En utilisant des mots interrogatifs : Ce sont des mots comme “qui” (who), “quoi” (what), “où” (where), “quand” (when), “comment” (how), “pourquoi” (why), etc., qui sont utilisés pour former des questions.
