—Où est-ce qu’il va en avion? —À Dakar.<br />
—Il y va quand? —Le week-end.<br />
—Il y va comment? —En avion.<br />
—Pourquoi est-ce qu’il y va tout seul? —Ça lui plaît.<br />
—Il se couche à quelle heure? —Très tard.<br />
—Ça coûte combien? —200 euros.<br />
Note that in everyday language est-ce que can be used following<br />
question words. However, the most common way to ask an<br />
information question is to use a question word with a statement. In<br />
such cases, the question words où, quand, combien, and comment<br />
are placed at the end of the question, and pourquoi at the<br />
beginning. The intonation rises first and then falls.<br />
Il va où?<br />
Il y va quand? BUT Pourquoi il y va seul?<br />
Il y va comment?<br />
Ça coûte combien?<br />
5. Inversion is also used with question words in more formal speech.<br />
Où va-t-elle?<br />
Comment y va-t-elle?<br />
Pourquoi y va-t-elle seule?<br />
Inversion is also used in some common, fixed expressions.<br />
Quel temps fait-il?<br />
