Attendez-moi!
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?
Quel jour est-ce? – What day is it?
