1. Questions with inversion 101
Dr Silvestri

2. How to do it
Using inversion to ask a question in French requires a little tweaking in the order of the words of the statement. The subject pronoun and the verb get swapped around (inverted) and separated by a hyphen.
THIS REPLACES THE DO/DOES in ENGLISH!!

3. Examples
Statement: Tu as une glace. (You have an ice cream.) Question with inversion: As-tu une glace? (Do you have an ice cream?) Statement: Vous parlez italien. (You speak Italian.) Question with inversion: Parlez-vous italien? (Do you speak Italian?)

4. One tricky item to remember
When you invert the subjects il (he), elle (she), or on (one) and a verb that ends in a vowel when conjugated in the present tense, pronunciation requires that you add -t– between the verb and subject inverted.
Examples:
Aime-t-elle la glace? (Does she like ice cream?)
Parle-t-on anglais ici? (Does one speak English here?)

5. Another tricky issue
Inversion cannot be done when the subject is a noun (like la fille, which means the girl) or a name (like Julie). It can only be done between a subject pronoun and the verb. Here’s how you get around that problem: You simply add the subject pronoun to the sentence while the noun or name sits at the beginning of the sentence.
Statement: Marie joue du violon. (Marie plays the violin.)
Question with inversion: Marie joue-t-elle du violon? (Does Marie play the violin?)
Notice how we used elle for the subject pronoun and didn’t use Marie?!
