Forming questionS in French

TAG Questions - Est-ce que

Est-ce que , literally means "is it that," can be placed at the beginning of any affirmative sentence to turn it into a question:

Est-ce que tu aimes la pizza ?

Do you like pizza?

Est-ce que tu joues au foot ?

Do you play soccer?

This is SIMPLE!!!

Intonation means the SOUND of YOUR VOICE !!

A very simple but informal way to ask yes/no questions is to raise the pitch of your voice while pronouncing any sentence:

Tu aimes la pizza ?

Do you like pizza?

Tu joues au foot ?

Do you play soccer?

Inversion

A more formal way to ask questions is with inversion : switch (or invert) the position of the conjugated verb and subject pronoun and join them with a hyphen:

Aimes-tu la pizza?

Do you like pizza?

Veux-tu voir un film ?

Do you want to see a movie?

A NAG question is an affirmative statement followed by the expression: n’est-ce pas

Tu aimes la pizza, n’est-ce pas?

Tu parles français, n’est-ce pas?

Tu sais comment nager, n’est-ce pas?

Vous pouvez étudier le français, n’est-ce pas?

Quel âge as-tu? How old are you?

Quelle heure est-il? - What time is it?

C’est quel mois? What month is it?
