One easy way to ask questions in Italian is to add a question mark to the end of the sentence in writing. (When speaking, raise the pitch of your voice at the end of the sentence.) For example: . F+ W% K( X( x0 D+ s
5 p6 ?$ V0 V" g$ l5 ?9 hHai un buon lavoro. (You have a good job.) 5 I0 E2 O: J+ \, n, H- E5 _ G& ]1 o: H
# d+ L6 j# c, a% aHai un buon lavoro? (Do you have a good job?)
4 v4 K" f. a6 {* n$ D4 a2 X" Y' _2 H6 h! C! q3 u0 S. H c
If a subject (noun or pronoun) is expressed in the interrogative, it can: 1 q) e; U. ?" M3 E. ~' }5 \% Q6 `4 S
3 g. S" p3 K+ o, k. b% l( b; ?Stay at the beginning of the sentence, before the verb. # G% A2 q, f ?
Move to the end of the sentence. / h" b- Y+ I0 I/ c
Move to precede the verb (the least frequent option).
8 L, Q( T# i8 pSo, for instance, you can ask the question "Does Nadia have a bicycle?" in three different ways: ! b5 @2 d0 `2 V, @/ F! |' v K4 R- U- N
6 G- ^$ L; W2 w* }+ i( A( w( ~- {

8 C4 P4 X! b6 _8 e9 S, p# ]3 a) Y; D& W) E9 ?, i% K1 e
