You've already seen simple ways to ask Yes or No questions (Asking yes/no questions with intonation, est-ce que, n'est-ce pas), now look at this more elaborate and elegant way to ask questions in French:
Forming Simple Yes/No questions by inverting
Look at this example:
Tu parles français => Parles-tu français?
You speak French => Do you speak French?
To form inverted questions in French, you simply place the subject pronoun (je, tu, nous, vous, ils, elles) after the verb, and insert an hyphen in-between.
Here are some more examples:
Allez-vous à Paris?Are you going to Paris?
Habitez-vous à Paris?Do you live in Paris?
As-tu un animal? Do you have an animal?
Parles-tu français?Do you speak French?
Aimes-tu le chocolat?Do you like chocolate?
More Complex Questions Using Question Words
This rule also applies to questions using question words (comment, où, quand, que...) :
Comment fais-tu ça?How do you do that?
Comment allez-vous?How are you doing?
Où va-t-on ce soir?Where are we going tonight?
