Interrogative sentences express a question and end with a question mark:
Avez-vous aimé le dernier livre de Simone
de Beauvoir?
(Did you like the last book of Simone de Beauvoir?)
An interrogative sentence can be expressed with a tag question. The tag question consists of a short phrase added to the end of a statement. It has two parts separated by a comma:
Vous
êtes bien docteur, n'est-ce-pas?
(You really are a doctor, aren't you?)
L'examen était
difficile, non?
(The exam was difficult, wasn't it?)
Many questions begin with either an interrogative pronoun or an interrogative adverb.
See Interrogatives and Tag Questions for details.
