2/8 French 3 quiz
Interrogatives, plural and singulars
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Qu'est-ce que | "What is", "What does", "What are", etc. when followed by a subject and verb such as "tu" + "aimes" |
| Est-ce que | Asks a "yes" or no" question. "Do..." "Are...." "Does...", etc. Can be preceded by any number of other question words to find out more information. |
| Quel, quelle, quels, quelles | Which or what (adjectives). You never say "quel est-ce que" but you COULD say "quel sport aimes-tu?" |
| Subject verb inversion | When the verb comes first (instead of using "est-ce que"...) "Aimes-tu le fromage?" is the same question as "Est-ce que tu aimes le fromage?" |
| Avec qui/quoi | In a formal register the French language doesn't end a question with "avec" as we do in English. So you need to put "Avec" at the beginning of the question. |
| Où | Where |
| Quand | When |
| Pourquoi | Why |
| Comment | How or What. Also if you want to find out what something is like (physical, emotional, quality,) you'd use "Comment est....?" or "Comment sont..."? Such as, "Comment est Oprah?" |
| Qui | Who or whom |
| Que | What (used often in inverted constructs): Que veux-tu? What do you want? Que voit-il? What does he see? |
| Quoi | What after a preposition.... "avec quoi manges-tu la soupe?" - "bien sûr avec une cuillère!" |
| Combien or combien de | How much or how many? |
