APPLICATION 1 CHAPITRE 3
Question formation
• There are several ways to ask a yes-no question in French. One way is to simply
raise the pitch of your voice at the end of a sentence. Another is to start the
question with est-ce que.
Est-ce que tu aimes les bananes?
• You can also ask yes-no questions by using inversion with a pronoun subject and
its verb. If the verb ends in a vowel sound, insert -t- before il, elle, or on.
Est-elle déjà partie? A-t-elle préparé le dîner?
• You can ask information questions by using question words like qui (who),
pourquoi (why), que (qu’) (what), combien de (d’) (how much/how many),
quand (when), comment (how), où (where).
Combien de tomates as-tu achetées?
Qui invites-tu à la boum?
