<p>你跟家人一般见面？ is not a correct sentence. </p>

<p>It should be 你跟家人一般什么时候见面？(When do you normally see your family?)</p>

Thanks, that's what I thought at the end of my question - I just had the 什么时候 at the wrong position. Would the original sentence be a correct sentence if there was no question mark? "I normally see/meet my family." ==> 你跟家人一般见面.

@cheeesus 你跟家人一般见面 is wrong in any case.

What would be a translation of the statement "I normally see my family.", using 一般?

@cheeesus It can be: 我一般(这个时候)去看(我的)家人。

<pre><code>你跟家人一般见面？

<p>as</p>

<pre><code>When do you normally see your family?

<p>However, I don't see why it is a question at all. I would translate</p>

<pre><code>你跟家人一般见面

<p>as</p>

<pre><code>You normally see your family.

<p>We can also make a question:</p>

<pre><code>你跟家人一般见面吗？
Do you normally see your family?
</code></pre>

<p>or</p>

<pre><code>你跟家人什么时候一般见面？
When do you normally see your family?

<p>which is the translation <a href="https://www.duolingo.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Duolingo</a> offers.</p>

<p>Who is right?</p>

<translation>
Is 你跟家人一般见面？ a yes-no question?

Duolingo translates
你跟家人一般见面？

as
When do you normally see your family?

However, I don't see why it is a question at all. I would translate
你跟家人一般见面

as
You normally see your family.

We can also make a question:
你跟家人一般见面吗？
Do you normally see your family?

or
你跟家人什么时候一般见面？
When do you normally see your family?

which is the translation Duolingo offers.
