'Yes/No' Questions
(2nd of 2) |
A common way to ask a yes/no question in Spanish is simply to change the intonation of your voice by making your voice rise at the end of the question: ¿Usted trabaja en México? Another way to form a question is to invert the order of the subject and verb, in addition to making your voice rise at the end of the question: ¿Trabaja usted en México?; ¿Está todo bien?; ¿Necesita usted algo más? To answer a question affirmatively, begin with Sí (yes): Sí, trabajo en México. To answer a question negatively, begin with No, and place another no in front of the verb: No, no trabajo en México. Notice that the word do from English (Do you work?) is not translated into Spanish when asking a question. |
