If i want to say "Is the professors are reasonable or difficult?"

is it "les professeures sont raisonnables ou difficiles?"

or "les professeures sont-ils raisonnables ou difficiles?"

Which one is correct? Do you have to include sont-ils? Is it also correct without it ?

second question:

Is "I want to go to France"....Je veux aller en France. ?

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Sorry, but I doubt you want to say "Is the professors are reasonable or difficult?" Without the word "Is" the English is fine. Either:

Est-ce que les professeurs sont raisonnables ou difficiles?
OR
Les professeurs sont-ils raisonnables ou difficiles?
Note the spelling of "professeurs."

The last sentence is correct.

To correctly form the question "Are the professors reasonable or difficult?" in French, you have two options:

1. "Les professeurs sont-ils raisonnables ou difficiles ?" - This is the inversion form, where the subject (les professeurs) and the verb (sont) are inverted. In this structure, "sont-ils" is necessary to form a grammatically correct question.

2. "Est-ce que les professeurs sont raisonnables ou difficiles ?" - This is the est-ce que form. In this structure, "est-ce que" acts as a question marker and replaces the need for subject-verb inversion. Therefore, "sont-ils" is not required in this form.

Both options are grammatically correct, and you can choose the one that feels more comfortable to you. Remember to also include the correct agreement in gender: "les professeurs" (masculine plural) or "les professeures" (feminine plural).
