Asking Questions - part 1

Questions Requiring a Yes / No Answer

A statement can become a question by adding the tag words ¿no? or ¿verdad? to
the end of that statement.

Examples:
Pedro va al trabajo temprano, ¿no? -  Pedro goes to work early, doesn’t he?
Martha se aburre en clase, ¿verdad? - Martha gets bored at class, doesn't she?

A statement can also become a question by inversion, that is, placing the subject after the verb. When using inversion to form a question that contains more than just a subject and verb, the word order is generally:

VERB + REMAINDER + SUBJECT
¿Van a trabajar temprano Uds.?

However, when the remainder of the sentence contains more words than the subject,
then the word order is generally:

VERB + SUBJECT + REMAINDER
¿Van a trabajar Uds. temprano todos los días?
