                  3. Spoken/Informal
                    1. The most common method of asking questions in informal french is to use a statement either with rising intonation or with a question word added.
                      1. Eg. "Tu vas trouver un emploi à Brighton?"
                        1. "Are you going to get a job in Brighton?"
                        2. Eg. L'avion part à quelle heure?
                          1. "What time does the plane leave?"
                          2. This form of question can only be used in spoken French, or in informal written French, such as a letter to a close friend.
                          3. Formal
                            1. Inverting the verb and the subject
                              1. Eg. "Pourriez-vous m'écrire une lettre de recommendation pour un employeur éventuel?"
                                1. "Could you write me a letter of recommendation for a potential employer?"
                                2. Eg. "Quelle matières a-t-il étudiées à l'université?
                                  1. "What subjects did he study at university?"
                                    1. There is an addition of "-t-" to bridge the gap between two vowels to aid pronunciation.
                                    2. Eg. "Pourquoi Pierre veut-il aller en Grande-Bretagne?"
                                      1. "Why does Pierre want to go to Britain?"
                                        1. If the subject of the verb is a noun, the appropriate pronoun is used with the verb.
                                      2. Using "est-ce que?" to avoid the inversion
                                        1. "Que vas-tu faire" = "Qu'est-ce que tu vas faire?"
                                          1. "What do you want to do?"
                                          2. "Comment espère-t-il gagner sa vie?" = "Comment est-ce qu'il espère gagner sa vie?"
                                            1. "How do you hope to make a living?"
                                        2. Translating 'what' in questions
                                          1. Direct questions
                                            1. Qu'est-ce qui
                                              1. Eg. "Qu'est-ce qui intéresse Pierre comme emploi?"
                                                1. "What interests Pierre in the job line?"
                                              2. Qu'est-ce que
                                                1. Eg. "Qu'est-ce que tu vas faire après le bac?"
                                                  1. "What are you going to do after A-levels?"
                                              3. With a preposition
                                                1. En quoi
                                                  1. Eg. "En quoi puis-je vous aider?"
                                                    1. "In what way can I help you?"
                                                  2. À quoi
                                                    1. Eg. "À quoi servent les études supérieures?"
                                                      1. "What is the use of higher education?"
                                                    2. De quoi
                                                      1. Eg. "De quoi parlez-vous?"
