Comment demander une question:
1) inversion: Avez-vous....? e.g. Avez -vous regardé un film pendant les vacances?
2) Est-ce que vous avez...? e.g. Est-ce que vous avez regardé un film pendant les vacances? Est-ce que literally means: is it that. Using "est-ce que" with a question word will give you a more specific question and result in not just a yes or no answer. e.g. Quel film est-ce que vous avez regardé pendant les vacances?
3) inflection at the end, raise your voice. Turn a statement into a question with tone. e.g. Vous avez regardé un film pendant les vacances?
4) using n'est-ce pas or non: Vous avez regardé un film, n'est-ce pas? or Vous avez regardé un film, non?
5)use question words: que, quoi, qui, comment, combien, pourquoi, quand, où, quel(le) e.g. Quel film est-ce que vous avez regardé?
Que? Qui? and Quoi? mean who, whom, what and whose; Comment? means how; Combien? means how many; Pourquoi? means why; Quand? means when; Où? means where; and Quel(le)? means which.
