Understanding Intonation Questions in French
In French, one way to ask a question is by using your voice to change how a sentence sounds. This is called an 'intonation question.' It's like when you ask a question in English, and your voice goes up at the end.
Important Points
- Intonation questions are the simplest form of questions in French.
- They are formed by using a regular sentence and changing the tone of your voice.
- Your voice should rise at the end of the sentence to indicate it's a question.
- No need to change the word order; just speak as if you're slightly surprised.
Examples
- Tu aimes le chocolat?
- Il fait beau aujourd'hui?
- Vous venez avec nous?
When you use intonation questions, you don't need to add any special words or change the order of the words like in some other types of questions. Just make your voice go up at the end to show that you're asking something.
