How to Ask Questions

In Spanish, there are different ways to ask questions. You can change how you say the statement or mix up the order of the words. Here are two main ways to do this:

1. Inversion

   • This means swapping the subject and the verb to form a question.
   • Example:
     • Statement: Tú desayunas a las ocho. (You have breakfast at eight.)
     • Question: ¿Desayunas tú a las ocho? (Do you have breakfast at eight?)

2. Raising Your Voice

   • Sometimes, just saying the statement with a higher voice at the end shows that you are asking a question.
   • Example:
     • Statement: Estudias español. (You study Spanish.)
     • Question: Estudias español? (Do you study Spanish?)

Using Question Words

Certain words can help you create better questions in Spanish. Here are some key question words:

• ¿Qué? – What?
• ¿Cuándo? – When?
• ¿Dónde? – Where?
• ¿Por qué? – Why?
• ¿Cómo? – How?

Examples of Questions

Now, let’s make some useful questions about daily routines using these verbs:

• ¿A qué hora te levantas? (At what time do you get up?)
• ¿Qué comes para el desayuno? (What do you eat for breakfast?)
• ¿Dónde estudias español? (Where do you study Spanish?)
