Spanish

<p>
	To transform a Spanish sentence containing <strong>hay</strong> into a question, you don't change the word order.
	It is enough just to use a different intonation.
	Questions start with an upside down question mark when written.
</p>

<table class="ui celled fixed table">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>Is there bread on the table?</td>
			<td>¿Hay pan en la mesa?</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>No, there is not.</td>
			<td>No. No hay.
		</td></tr>
		<tr>
			<td>Are there many drunkards in the city?</td>
			<td>¿Hay muchos borrachos en la ciudad?</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>Yes, there are.</td>
			<td>Sí. Hay.</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

<p>
	When asking questions using other verbs, the verb normally comes at the beginning of the sentence.
</p>

<table class="ui celled fixed table">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>Does the cat eat bread?</td>
			<td>¿Come el gato pan?</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>Do you speak English?</td>
			<td>¿Habla usted Inglés?</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

<p>
	In reality, the word order when forming questions with other verbs than <strong>hay</strong> is more flexible.
	Changing the order to <strong>verb</strong>, then <strong>subject</strong> and then <strong>object</strong> is the most common way however, and will be the default way to do it in our lessons.
