Forming questions There are several ways to ask a question in French. The simplest way is to use the same wording as for a statement but with rising intonation (when speaking) or setting a question mark at the end (when writing). This method is considered informal. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Forming questions (continued) A second way is to place the phrase Est-ce que… directly before a statement. If the next word begins with a vowel sound, use Est-ce qu’. Questions with est-ce que are somewhat formal. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Forming questions (continued) A third way is to place a tag question at the end of a statement. This method can be formal or informal. A fourth way is to invert the order of the subject pronoun and the verb and hyphenate them. If the verb ends in a vowel and the subject pronoun is il or elle, -t- is inserted between the verb and the pronoun. Inversion is considered more formal. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Forming questions (continued) If the subject is a noun rather than a pronoun, invert the pronoun and the verb, and place the noun before them. The inverted form of il y a is y a-t-il. C’est becomes est-ce. Use pourquoi to ask why? Use parce que (parce qu’ before a vowel sound) in the answer to express because. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Expressing negation To make a sentence negative in French, place ne (n’ before a vowel sound) before the conjugated verb and pas after it. In the construction [conjugated verb + infinitive], ne (n’) comes before the conjugated verb and pas after it. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Expressing negation (continued) In questions with inversion, place ne before the inversion and pas after it. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Expressing negation (continued) Use these expressions to respond to a statement or a question that requires a yes or no answer. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.

Expressing negation (cont’d) Use si instead of oui to contradict a negative question. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.
