Spanish Grammar - How to Ask Questions

Hi Spanish learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing how to ask questions in Spanish. Asking questions is an important part of any language, and Spanish is no exception. We will cover the basics of forming questions, as well as some more advanced topics. By the end of this lesson, you should have a good understanding of how to ask questions in Spanish.

Basics of Forming Questions

Asking questions in Spanish is quite simple. All you need to do is add a question mark (¿) at the beginning of the sentence and invert the subject and verb. For example:

• ¿Hablas español? (Do you speak Spanish?)
• ¿Cómo estás? (How are you?)

In Spanish, the verb always comes before the subject. This is different from English, where the subject usually comes first.

Yes/No Questions

Yes/no questions are the simplest type of questions. To form them, just add a question mark (¿) at the beginning of the sentence and invert the subject and verb. For example:

• ¿Vives en España? (Do you live in Spain?)
• ¿Tienes un perro? (Do you have a dog?)

Wh-Questions

Wh-questions are a bit more complicated. To form them, you need to add a question word (who, what, when, where, why, how) at the beginning of the sentence and invert the subject and verb. For example:

• ¿Quién habla español? (Who speaks Spanish?)
• ¿Cuándo vas a venir? (When are you coming?)

Advanced Topics

Once you understand the basics of forming questions, there are a few more advanced topics you can explore.

Double Questions

Double questions are two questions combined into one. To form them, just add both question words at the beginning of the sentence and invert the subject and verb. For example:

• ¿Qué hora es y dónde estás? (What time is it and where are you?)
• ¿Cómo te llamas y cuántos años tienes? (What's your name and how old are you?)

Tag Questions

Tag questions are short questions added at the end of a sentence. To form them, just add the tag question at the end of the sentence and invert the subject and verb. For example:

• Estás listo, ¿verdad? (You're ready, right?)
• Tienes hambre, ¿no? (You're hungry, aren't you?)
