How are questions formed in Spanish?

In Spanish, questions can be formed in several ways, and the word order is often different from English. Below are a few common ways to form questions in Spanish:

1. Rising Intonation: You can often turn a statement into a question simply by raising your intonation at the end of the sentence. For example:

- Statement: Tú tienes un perro. (You have a dog.)

- Question: ¿Tú tienes un perro? (Do you have a dog?)

2. Question Words: Questions can also be formed using question words. Some common question words in Spanish include:

- ¿Quién? (Who?)

- ¿Qué? (What?)

- ¿Dónde? (Where?)

- ¿Cuándo? (When?)

- ¿Por qué? (Why?)

- ¿Cómo? (How?)

- ¿Cuánto/a/os/as? (How much/many?)

3. Verb-Subject Inversion: In formal or written Spanish, questions can be formed by inverting the order of the subject and the verb. For example:

- Statement: Tú estudias español. (You study Spanish.)

- Question: ¿Estudias tú español? (Do you study Spanish?)

4. Using "Sí" or "No" Questions: Some yes/no questions can be formed by simply adding "¿Sí?" or "¿No?" at the end of a statement. For example:

- Statement: Tú vas al cine. (You go to the cinema.)

- Yes/No Question: ¿Tú vas al cine, sí? (Do you go to the cinema, yes?)
