Interrogatives (question words) are essential to ask questions, and also to answer them - you need to understand what is being asked of you. Let's look at them in more detail.
Interrogatives
Interrogatives are also known as question words
They are often called wh- words in English (who, what, when …)
Use interrogatives to ask open questions (questions which require more information in the reply than yes or no)
There are three ways to use interrogatives in French questions:
subject + verb + question word
Ton modèle est comment ?
question word + verb + subject
Comment est ton modèle ?
question word + est-ce que + subject + verb
Pourquoi est-ce que tu aimes ton modèle ?
