Chapter 3.4 - yes / no questions

Identifying a person - Asking Questions

The verb "SER" will help you check a person's identity. Listen to the Voki conversation below.

Turning Statements into Yes-No Questions

Let's look at the question from the Voki conversation - Example: ¿Tú eres Daniel? - Are you Daniel? The answer to this question will be either yes or no - Sí , No.

You will see that questions in Spanish can be formed by simply adding two question marks to a statement: "You are Daniel" - Tú eres Daniel.

Use the two question marks (¿ ?) to turn the statement into a yes-no question.

The same applies to the statement Tú conoces a Daniel (You know Daniel). This, too, can be turned into a question: ¿Tú conoces a Daniel? Note that the pronoun is commonly dropped from the question: ¿Conoces a Daniel? ¿Eres Daniel?
