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 ?”
The three main ways the French can ask questions are:
- 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.
- 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?)
- 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 :
- 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.
- En utilisant l’inversion : Cela implique de renverser le sujet et le verbe dans une phrase. Par exemple, “Il mange” devient “Mange-t-il ?”
- 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.
Is it that + statement = what?
