French question format?

Question

what is the other format for a question in french.

there is:

est que + noun + verb + rest of question

but there is another one that doesn't use the "est que."

do you know it?

Answer 1

Yes, I do..know.

3 choices :

A) formal :

inversion necessary : verb + subject + complement

Partons-nous aujourd'h*i : Are we leaving today?

B) a positive sentence said with a question mark in the voice :

Nous partons aujourd'h*i ?

C) colloquial/familiar

Est-ce que nous partons aujourd'h*i?

Only the formal version needs an inversion ( verb + subject).

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Three ways of asking a question :

1. Est-ce que + subject+ verb+complement. Est-ce que nous sommes heureux(se)?

2. You invert the verb and the subject. We are happy( nous sommes heureux(se)=Sommes-nous heureux(se)?

3. For familiar talking, you just add a question mark. Nous sommes heureux(se)?
