Questions
In French, you can make a question by placing the verb in front
of the subject:
| Viens- tu avec nous ? |
Are you coming with us? |
| Avez- vous de l'argent ? |
Do you have any money? |
| Mange-t-il avec son père ? |
Is he going to eat with his father?
|
In French, like in English,. you only use one interrogation sign.
Also, when you are making a question in the 3rd person singular (masculine
and feminine) you place a "t" between the verb (if it ends
in a vowel) and the pronoun:
| Vient-il avec nous ? |
Is he coming with us? |
| Écoute-t-elle de la musique ? |
Is she listening to the music?
|
| A-t-il un chien ? |
Does he have a dog? |
If the verbs is a compound, the sentence begins with the auxiliary
verb, followed by the subject and then the main verb:
| Est- il allé avec son
ami ? |
Has he gone with his friend? |
| Ont- ils acheté le livre ? |
Have they bought the book? |
| As- tu fini ton travail ? |
Have you finished your work? |
Thye also use the following construction in French to form questions:
| Est-ce que
+ Subject
+ Verb ? |
In this case, as with affirmative sentences, the subject goes first
and then the verb.
You can use both question structures interchangeably:
| Avons- nous un chien
? |
Do we have a dog? |
| Est-ce que nous avons un chien
? |
Do we have a dog? |
| Regardes- tu la télévision ? |
Do you watch the television? |
| Est-ce que tu regardes la télévision
? |
Do you watch the television? |
