Learn Spanish (Latin America): ¿Ustedes practican deportes temprano?

In Spanish, you don't need a helper word like "do" or "does" to ask a yes/no question. You simply take the normal statement (Ustedes practican deportes temprano) and make it a question by adding question marks and raising your pitch at the end when speaking.

Could I put ustedes after the verb instead?

Yes! In Spanish questions, it's very common to flip the subject and the verb. You could ask ¿Practican ustedes deportes temprano? and it means exactly the same thing.

I know tú means "you". Why does this sentence use ustedes?

Tú is used when talking to just one person. Ustedes is the plural form of "you" in Latin America (like saying "you all" or "you guys"). The speaker is asking a group of people if they practice sports.

Why is there an upside-down question mark (¿) at the beginning?

Because Spanish sentences don't always change their word order for a question, a statement and a question can look exactly the same. The upside-down question mark (¿) gives the reader a helpful visual warning to start reading with a questioning tone of voice.

Does temprano need an "s" at the end since deportes is plural?
