INTERROGATIVE FORM

INTERROGATIVE

In Spanish, the interrogative and the affirmative are often practically the same and the question "¿" is added before the phrase and the "?" then. However, in English the order of the words is changed and then the "?" Is added. (With the verb "to be" you simply exchange the verb "to be" with the subject to ask a question.)
