In Spanish, there are several interrogative words and constructions used to form questions. Here are some of the most common ones:
Interrogative Words
- ¿Qué? (What?)
- ¿Quién? (Who?)
- ¿Cuándo? (When?)
- ¿Dónde? (Where?)
- ¿Por qué? (Why?)
- ¿Cómo? (How?)
- ¿Cuánto/a/os/as? (How much/many?)
- ¿Cuál/es? (Which?)
Question Constructions
Inversion of Subject and Verb: To form a question, the verb is placed before the subject. For example:
- ¿Hablas español? (Do you speak Spanish?)
- ¿Vive aquí tu hermano? (Does your brother live here?)
Question Words + Regular Word Order: When using interrogative words, the regular word order (subject + verb) is maintained. For example:
- ¿Qué comes? (What do you eat?)
- ¿Cuándo vienes? (When are you coming?)
Tag Questions: These are short questions added at the end of a statement to confirm or seek agreement. For example:
- Tú eres de Madrid, ¿verdad? (You are from Madrid, right?)
- No puedes venir, ¿no? (You can't come, can't you?)
Indirect Questions: These are questions embedded within a statement, often introduced by words like "si" (if) or "qué" (what). For example:
- Me pregunto si vienes conmigo. (I wonder if you're coming with me.)
- No sé qué quieres decir. (I don't know what you mean.)
It's important to note that the intonation and stress patterns also play a crucial role in distinguishing questions from statements in Spanish.
