Cómo hacer una pregunta
Forming Questions
3
The Question Word Song To make a statement say the subject then the verb. To make a question, just say them in reverse. Flip a question mark for where the question begins. A right-side-up one always goes where it ends. ¿Por qué? asks why? ¿Cuándo? asks when? ¿Dónde? asks where? To find out who?, ask ¿quién? ¿Qué? is what? Which? is ¿cuál? How? is ¿cómo? Put an accent on ‘em all.
4
Questions without question words
Like the first 2 lines of the song explained, you can make a question without a question word by just flipping the subject and verb Juan es guapo. ¿Es guapo, Juan?
5
Question Words ¿Cuál? has singular and plural forms
Use ¿cuáles? when the answer should be plural and ¿cuál? when the answer should be singular ¿Cuáles pantalones te gustan? / Which pants do you like? ¿Cuál vestido te gusta? / Which dress do you like? ¡OJO! English speakers often replace WHICH with WHAT when making questions!
6
Question Words Dónde sometimes needs a preposition to make it work
DE = from ¿De dónde? asks from where (like where are you from?) A = to ¿Adónde? asks to where (like where are you to go? Where are you headed?) Prepositions work with other question words when necessary and appear before the question word. ¿A qué (hora)? = at what (time) ¿De quién (es este lápiz)? = from whom (did you get your pencil) ¿Con quién (vas al cine)? = with whom (are you going to the movies)
7
Question Words ¿Cuánto? (not in the song) means how much and works like an adjective ¿Cuánto? used with masculine singular nouns AND verbs ¿Cuánto tiempo has estudiado el español? ¿Cuánto cuesta el suéter? ¿Cuánta? used with feminine singular nouns ¿Cuánta comida debo traer a la fiesta? ¿Cuántos? used with masculine plural nouns ¿Cuántos años tienes? ¿Cuántas? used with feminine plural nouns ¿Cuántas novias tiene Rico Suave?
