¿Cómo hacemos preguntas en Español?
Who? When? Where? How? Why? What? How much?
To ask questions in Spanish we can use the words above ?called interrogative pronouns .
Asking questions is one of the first needs when we learn a new language. It is the way to ask for personal information from others. For example: Where do you live? = Where do you live?
In English these words also exist and have the same use. Here you can see the translation of each one:
– Who? = Who?
– When? = When?
– Where? = Where?
– How? = How?
– Why? = Why?
– What? = What?
– How much? = How much?
As you can see, in Spanish to ask questions we need to put two question marks, one at the beginning ” ¿ ” and another at the end ” ? “. This is a difference with English and French, since they only need the sign at the end of the question.
Here is a list of basic questions in Spanish with each of the interrogative pronouns:
