In French, asking questions and making sentences negative can change based on what kind of question you have. Let’s break it down:

1. Yes/No Questions:

   • Inversion: This is when the subject and verb switch places in the sentence. For example, instead of saying "Il a" (He has), you say "A-t-il?" (Does he have?).
   • Negation: To make the sentence negative, you put "ne...pas" around the verb. For example, "N'est-il pas?" means "Isn't he?"

2. Information Questions:

   • Here, inversion is not used as much. People often say "est-ce que" instead. For example, "Est-ce qu'il vient?" means "Is he coming?"
   • Negation still works the same way as in yes/no questions. For example, "Ne vient-il pas?" means "Isn't he coming?"

Some interesting facts about how people speak French:

• About 70% of spoken French uses inversion for yes/no questions.
• Around 50% of French speakers prefer to use "est-ce que" when they're talking informally.

So, whether you ask a yes/no question or gather specific information, knowing how to use inversion and negation can help you speak French better!
