1. LES QUESTIONS
EN FRANÇAIS

2. LES QUESTIONS Oui/Non
THERE ARE 3 WAYS TO ASK YES/NO QUESTIONS IN FRENCH.
1. INTONATION
2. INVERSION
3. ADD EST-CE QUE

3. INTONATION
This is the easiest way to form a question. You simple take a statement and change the intonation in your voice to form a question.
Examples:
Tu aimes lacrosse. = Tu aimes lacrosse?
Vous parlez français. = Vous parlez français?
* Not ideal in the written form.

4. INVERSION
Inversion is where you reverse the verb and the subject to make the statement a question.
Examples:
Tu aimes lacrosse. = Aimes-tu lacrosse?
Vous parlez français. = Parlez-vous français?
This would be considered more informal language.

5. Est-ce que
The last option is to add “est-ce que” to the start of the statement to make it a question.
Examples:
Tu aimes lacrosse. = Est-ce que tu aimes lacrosse?
Vous parlez français = Est-ce que vous parlez français?
This is the most formal way to ask a question.

6. Adding depth
To ask questions that are not simply yes or no answers you need to add these important words to the beginning of your questions.
Quoi (Qu’) = What
Qui = Who
Où = Where
Pourquoi = Why
Quand = When
Comment = How
Combien = How much

7. Examples Aimes-tu jouer du piano? = Do you like to play piano?
Pourquoi aimes-tu jouer du piano? = Why do you like to play piano?
Est-ce que tu es bon dans les maths? = Are you good at math?
Comment est-ce que tu es bon dans les maths? How are you good at math?
Tu visites la France? = You are visiting France?
Quand est-ce que tu visites la France? = When are you visiting France.
