Questions & Answers about Voulez-vous poser une question au chanteur ?
Why is it Voulez-vous instead of Est-ce que vous voulez?
This sentence uses subject-verb inversion, which is a formal way to ask a question. To do this, you simply swap the verb (voulez) and the subject pronoun (vous) and join them with a hyphen.
Why is the verb poser used here instead of demander for "to ask"?
Why does it say au chanteur instead of à le chanteur?
Why isn't the verb poser conjugated?
When you have two verbs back-to-back, like wanting to do something, only the first verb is conjugated. The first verb (voulez) is conjugated to match vous, and the second verb (poser) stays in its full infinitive dictionary form.
