Grammar: Asking a question

_THIS IS A TESTING BETA VERSION OF THE SITE_

3 WAYS TO ASK A QUESTION

CAREFUL: THESE WAYS CAN’T BE COMBINED

We place the question particle at the end of the sentence

Question particle is mostly 吗 /ma/

EXAMPLES

{chfx:sentences:tags=grquestionsma;max=4;order=random}

For instance 是不是 /shì-bu-shi/ IS or ISN’T = IS IT?

When the verb is based of 2 syllables, like 可以 /kěyǐ/ TO BE POSSIBLE, the construction looks like this:

可不可以 /kě-bù-kěyǐ/ IS IT POSSIBLE?

EXAMPLES

{chfx:sentences:tags=grquestionsvnv;max=3;order=random}

For instance: 什么 /shénme/ WHAT

谁 /shéi/ WHO

EXAMPLES

{chfx:sentences:tags=grquestionsqw;max=3;order=random}
