“Fairy tales are more than moral lessons and time capsules for cultural commentary; they are natural law. The child raised on folklore will quickly learn the rules of crossroads and lakes, mirrors and mushroom rings. They’ll never eat or drink of a strange harvest or insult an old woman or fritter away their name as though there’s no power in it. They’ll never underestimate the youngest son or touch anyone’s hairpin or rosebush or bed without asking, and their steps through the woods will be light and unpresumptuous. Little ones who seek out fairy tales are taught to be shrewd and courteous citizens of the seen world, just in case the unseen one ever bleeds over.”

— S.T. Gibson (via sarahtaylorgibson)

how to ask questions in french 💗

1. Est-ce que

literally “is it that,” can be placed at the beginning of any affirmative sentence to turn it into a question:

  Est-ce que vous dansez ?   Do you dance?   Est-ce que tu veux voir un film ?   Do you want to see a movie?   Est-ce qu'il est arrivé ?   Has he arrived? Place any question words in front of est-ce que: (eg. quand, quel, où)   Quand est-ce que tu veux partir ?   When do you want to leave? Pourquoi est-ce qu’il a menti ?   Why did he lie?  Quel livre est-ce que vous cherchez ?   Which book are you looking for?

2. Inversion

A more formal way to ask questions is with inversion. Invert the conjugated verb and subject pronoun and join them with a hyphen:

  Dansez-vous ?   Do you dance?   Veux-tu voir un film ?   Do you want to see a movie?   Est-il arrivé ?   Has he arrived? Again, place any interrogative words at the beginning of the question:   Quand veux-tu partir ?   When do you want to leave?   Pourquoi a-t-il menti ?   Why did he lie?   Quel livre cherchez-vous ?   Which book are you looking for? You can use inversion to ask negative questions.   Ne dansez-vous pas ?   Don’t you dance?   N'est-il pas encore arrivé ?   Hasn’t he arrived yet?

3. Statement as question

A very simple but informal way to ask yes/no questions is to raise the pitch of your voice while pronouncing any sentence:

  Vous dansez ?   You dance?   Tu veux voir un film ?   You want to see a movie?   Il est arrivé ?   He arrived? You can also use this structure to ask negative questions:   Tu ne danses pas ?   You don’t dance?   Il n'est pas encore arrivé ?   He hasn’t arrived yet?

4. N'est-ce pas?

If you’re pretty sure the answer to your question is yes, you can just make an affirmative statement and then add the tag n'est-ce pas ? to the end. This is also informal:

  Tu danses, n'est-ce pas ?   You dance, right?   Tu veux voir un film, n'est-ce pas ?   You want to see a movie, right?   Il est arrivé, n'est-ce pas ?   He arrived, right?

5. Notes

The French equivalent of the verb “to ask” is demander, but “to ask a question” is “poser une question.”

There are two main types of questions:

Yes/no questions, also known as polar questions or closed questions (questions fermées), ask for a simple yes or no answer.

Information questions, also known as WH questions, constituent questions, or open questions (questions ouvertes), ask for information with question words, like who, what, when, where, why, which, how, how much/many.

When using inversion with the third person singular (il, elle, or on) and a verb that ends in a vowel, you must add t- between the verb and subject pronoun:

 Aime-t-il les films ? - Does he like movies?   A-t-on décidé ? - Have we decided? Écoute-t-elle la radio ? - Does she listen to the radio?

There is a special French word, si, that is used only when responding in the affirmative to a negative question.

- Vas-tu au ciné ? - Oui ! - Are you going to the movies? - Yes! - Ne vas-tu pas au ciné ? - Si ! - Aren’t you going to the movies? - Yes (I am)! - Est-ce que tu veux venir ? - Oui ! - Do you want to come? - Yes! - Tu ne veux pas venir ? - Si ! - You don’t want to come? - Yes (I do)
