Yes and No Questions
In Spanish there are three ways of asking a question with a yes/no answer.
¿
Elena habla español?
¿Habla Elena español?
¿Habla español Elena?
Each
question
asks
for
the
same
information
and has
the
same
meaning
.
The
subject
can
be
placed at
the
beginning
of
the
sentence
,
after
the
verb
or
at
the
end
.Slide3
WH- questions
Questions
that
begin
with
a
question
word
such
as “cómo” “qué” and “dónde”
always
put
the
subject
after
the
verb
.
An
accent
is
also
added
to
the
stressed
vowel
in
the
question
word
.

is
Elena
like
?
Elena es bonita y simpática.

No “Do” or
“
Does
”

doesn´t
use “do”
or
“
does
” in
questions

are
enough
.
