Put the question word at the start of the sentence and switch the verbA word used to describe an action or state of being. and subjectThe person or thing in the sentence that is doing the action. around. For example:
Où habites-tu ? – Where do you live?
Or use est-ce que between the question word and the subject.
Où est-ce que tu habites ? – Where do you live?
In spoken and informal French, most question words can also go at the end. For example:
Tu habites où ? – Where do you live?
When qui (who) is the subject of the question, another pronounWords that replace nouns, ie he, she, it, they. is not needed, and the word order is the same as a statement. For example:
Qui a gagné le jeu ? – Who won the game?
Que (what) can also be qu’est-ce que. After que, the verb and subject are switched around, whereas after qu’est-ce que, the verb and subject stay in the same order as a statement. For example:
Que vas-tu faire demain ? – What are you going to do tomorrow?
Qu’est-ce que tu vas faire demain ? – What are you going to do tomorrow?
Rearrange the parts of these sentences so they make sense.
