The word order of yes/no - questions is the same as in declarative sentences.The question arises from the sentence melody: ¿(subject +) verb + object?
In Spanish, an inverted question mark is placed before the question. The same applies to exclamation marks.
Example:
¿Michael es de Alemania? (Is Michael from Germany?)
Sí, Michael es de Alemania. (Yes, Michael is from Germany.)
Take online language lessons with a professional teacher
Yes/No - questions can be answered with yes or no. The word order of the answers is the same as in the questions:
Supplementary questions are, as in English, initiated by a question pronoun. All question pronouns in Spanish carry an accent. The most important question pronouns (interrogative pronouns) are listed here:
Spanish | English |
---|---|
¿Qué? | What? |
¿Cómo? | How? |
¿Por qué? | Why? |
¿Dónde? | Where? |
¿Adónde? | Where to? |
¿De dónde? | Where is/are...from? |
¿Cuándo? | When? |
¿Quién? / ¿Quiénes? | Who? |
¿A quién? | Who?, Whom? |
¿Cuál? / ¿Cuáles? | Which one(s)? |
¿Cuánto/-a? / ¿Cuántos/-as? | How many? |
Qué (What?) can also serve in combination with a preposition as another interrogative pronoun:
Spanish | English |
---|---|
¿Qué? | What? |
¿Por qué? | Why? |
¿Para qué? | What for? |
¿Con qué? | With what? |
¿En qué? | In what? |
¿De qué? | Whereat? |
and cuándo (When?) with a preposition
Spanish | English |
---|---|
¿Cuándo? | When? |
¿Para cuándo? | By when? |
¿Hasta cuándo? | Until when? |
¿De cuándo? | From when? |
¿Desde cuándo? | Since when? |
In supplementary questions the subject stands behind the verb. If the subject can be omitted, it simply falls away:
To answer supplementary questions you can't use only yes/no. Further information is needed:
Here you can find more information about the Spanish interrogative pronouns.
The rules for indirect questions are similar to the rules of the indirect speech. The distinction of yes/no - questions and supplementary questions is very important.
Yes/No - questions must be initiated with si (if).
When the introductory sentence is in the past, the time of the indirect question changes. If you want to know more about the back shift, just have a look on the chapter "indirect speech".
Indirect supplementary questions are introduced with the same question word as the direct speech.
When the introductory sentence is in the past, the time of the indirect question changes. If you want to know more about the back shift, just have a look on the chapter "indirect speech".

Lourdes is a great teacher! She has an easy going personality that makes you very comfortable during the class! I can be a little bit awkward when I talk to someone for the first time, but I didn't feel that at all during our first session! She always has a positive energy which is very encouraging. I've tried free trials with another teacher who I'm sure is good as well but the sessions lasted 15 min. Lourdes The free trial class was 1 hour and it felt exactly like the ones I paid for! The materials she uses are easy to follow but challenging enough to make steady progress. I would recommend her for anyone who is looking for an excellent and patient teacher with captivating personality!

Penny teaches to any level and age. If you are an adults, a University student, a teenager or for your kid, she adaptes her lessons with creative tools. She has great and structured homemade Greek courses : First she introduces you to a writing understanding by text, then to an oral one by audio or videos and finally you can practice your Greek by grammar exercises or conversations. Penny is involved and passioned in her teaching and has creative and attractive learning materials ! I recommend her !!

I've been studying with Montse for about 6-7 weeks now. So far I have found her to be a fantastic teacher. She is very professional, fun and engaging. There is a very clear structure and method to her teaching, which I think is important! Never a dull lesson either. I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone looking for a very competent teacher. I was previously learning Spanish with a teacher on Live Lengua and have found Monste to be a giant leap in terms of the quality.

Top-notch teacher! Highly recommended! Very professional, easy-going and patient, especially for beginners like me! :D There are a lot of interesting content within his teaching material interweaving with the grammar, which makes the lesson very entertaining and helps acquire the knowledge about language easier. In one hour with Diego you can get an excellent learning experience but also a decent package of information about the Spanish culture!

My aim is to get all the students to love the language, to find ways in which English can be added into their daily life through entertainment, creating a nearly-inmersive environment.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
I got certified with the University of Cambridge TKT test, developed empathy to students, polished my method, and the last 5 years I have been teaching english in an online environment.
After years teaching online, I can say that the computer screen is not a limitation. I love to see my students thrive in a new language, I develop my own exercises too, My classes are fun, dynamic and interesting to say the least, I believe I have the patience to create exercises and drills for my students and approach learning from a different perspective and overcome boredom, tiredness and lack of discipline.
I work with realia mostly, and I can tell you that nothing is more powerful than things and situations that are personal to a person.

Laura is a great Spanish teacher ! She is patient and adaptes any of her lessons according your demand and level. I could have improved my pronunciation, my vocabulary and my grammar in Spanish thanks to her. I also felt free to ask anything about Latinoamerica as learning more about colloquial expressions from there. She made structured, personalized, attractive and completed Spanish courses ! I strongly recommend her !

Hello, Spanish learner! I am Isabel, your Spanish teacher.
I am a professional online Spanish teacher for 3 years. I am a native speaker from Colombia.
My lessons are completely in Spanish because I want you to speak as much as possible. During my lessons, we will focus on conversation and pronunciation. But a typical lesson also contains a vocabulary topic and a grammar topic.
I will focus on your needs and your mistakes to improve your Spanish as quickly as possible. In the first lesson, we will do a level test to check your current level (CEFR A1, A2, B1, B2, C1)
If you would like to improve your Spanish, learn more about the South American culture, gastronomy and traditions, I am your teacher! Or if you just want to talk in Spanish, about any subject you like, I would be happy to meet you online.
Send me a message and I will provide you a 30-minute free trial lesson!
See you online on Skype.
Your Spanish teacher, Isabel
