1. Inversion is much better = où va-t-il?
2. Comment écris-tu?
There are 4 ways to ask a question.
Il va au cinéma.
1. inversion = Va-t-il au cinéma?
2. straight word order with inflection (question mark)= Il va au cinéma?
3. straight word order, adding "non?" or "n'est-ce pas" at the end - Il va au cinéma, non? (n'est-ce pas?)
4. using est-ce que (qu') = Est-ce qu'il va au cinéma?
And of course, using an interrogative/question word, as you are doing.
You'll note that #1 and #4 are used most by the French. My eyes will not slide up and down, up and down, so I've printed your items.
3. Comment allons-nous en France?
4. OK
5. Quand arrivent-ils à l'école?
(and I'd begin with "`A quelle heure...)
6. Avec qui parle Marie.
Avec qui est-ce que Marie parle?
7. better = Où Jean vient-il?
8. Pourquoi est-ce que mes parents se fâchent?
9. Jacques, qu'est-ce qu'il n'aime pas?
10. Combien de frères et soeurs a-t-elle?
Part 2 1. Allez-vous à quelle école?
2. Où votre frère vent-il aller?
Depending upon your textbook, surely there are examples and/or a good explanation there?
3. Combin de cours suivez-vous ce semestre?
4. Combien de cours votre frère va-t-il suivre? (be sure you have the infinitive after "aller"
5. Comment allez-vous à l'école? (sorry, at this hour my eyes do not focus well!)
6. Comment votre frère va-t-il à l'école?
7. Avec quel professeur faites-vous du français? (check spelling of last word)
8. Avec qui votre frère pense-t-il faire du français?
Part 3: Without knowing your textbook, etc. can I be sure what 4 ways YOU learned?
1. A has no verb
B. bad word order for train station
C. drop "à"
D. ok
2. C again drop "`a" - What is the station like?
3. A. be sure to have a verb there ( y a-t-il?
C. there is th at problem again
4. A. add a verb
C. same thing
5. A. add a verb
C. same problem
***I believe that here is where you have the problem. When a NOUN is th e subject, (such as votre frère), the noun precedes the inverted verb and pronoun.
Please get back with any questions you might have, but I hope it's a bit clearer now.
