Hello everybody!
It's me again with a question about how to make questions.
Well, I know that the forms "verb-person" and "est-ce que person verb" are "interchangeable":
As-tu vu le film?
Est-ce que tu as vu le film?
But I wondered, how interchangeable are they really? Do both mean exactly the same and would you use both normally?
And how would you use the "est-ce que..." as an alternative for a sentence like N'avez-vous pas mangé? ? Would it be Est-ce que vous n'avez pas mangé? ?
Besides, what happens when the subject is not tu or vous or something like that, but for example ton père:
Est-ce que ton père regarde le match?
Couldn't you build there a "verb-person" question?
Merci beaucoup!
