Asking questions
- Asking 'yes' or 'no' questions in Spanish is very easy.
- If writing, you only need to put question marks around the phrase (¿ ?).
- If speaking, you just need to raise the pitch of your voice at the end of the question.
The upside down question mark
- When writing questions in Spanish, you need to use an upside down question mark at the start: '¿'.
- This is the signal for the start of a question.
'Yes' or 'no' questions
