Creating questions in Spanish can be easier if you understand how they work, especially how we say them. In this guide, you'll learn some basic grammar rules and see examples that can help you ask questions smoothly.
In Spanish, we have regular verbs grouped by their endings. There are three kinds:
AR Verbs (like hablar, which means "to speak")
ER Verbs (like comer, which means "to eat")
IR Verbs (like vivir, which means "to live")
Here’s how to change these verbs in the present tense:
Hablar (to speak):
Comer (to eat):
Vivir (to live):
Some verbs don't follow the regular rules. Here are a few common ones:
Ser (to be):
Estar (to be):
Tener (to have):
Ir (to go):
Articles help us form questions correctly.
Definite Articles (the): el, la, los, las
Indefinite Articles (a, some): un, una, unos, unas
Examples:
In Spanish, you can turn a statement into a question by changing the pitch of your voice at the end.
Statement: Tú tienes un perro.
Question with Intonation: ¿Tú tienes un perro? (Do you have a dog?)

Masculine: bonito (handsome), pequeño (small)
Feminine: bonita (beautiful), pequeña (small)
Examples:
