1 Point de départ In Leçon 2A, you learned four ways to formulate yes or no questions in French. However, many questions seek information that can’t be provided by a simple yes or no answer. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.

2 Use these words with est-ce que or inversion.

3 Although quand. and à quelle heure. can be translated as when
Although quand? and à quelle heure? can be translated as when?, in English, they are not interchangeable. Use quand to talk about a day or date, and à quelle heure to talk about a particular time of day. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.

4 Another way to formulate questions with most interrogative words is by placing them after a verb. This kind of formulation is very informal but very common. Note that quoi? (what?) must immediately follow a preposition in order to be used with est-ce que or inversion. If no preposition is necessary, place quoi after the verb. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.

5 To answer a question formulated with pourquoi, use parce que/qu’ (because).
It’s impolite to use Quoi? to indicate that you don’t understand what’s being said. Use Comment? or Pardon? instead. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.

6 Quel(le)(s) agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies.
Note that when qui? is used as a subject, the verb that follows is always singular. Quel(le)(s) agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.

7 Quel(le)(s)? can be placed before a form of the verb être.
