To make a sentence negative, use no before the conjugated verbs.

Subject pronouns are often omitted; the verb endings indicate who the subject is. They may, however, be used for clarification.

One way to ask questions is to raise the pitch of your voice at the end of a sentence. When writing a question, use an upside-down question mark (¿) at the beginning of a question and a regular questions mark (?) at the end.

You can also ask questions by placing the subject after the verb. The subject may even be placed at the end of the sentence.

Another way to ask questions is by adding ¿no? or ¿verdad? at the end of the statement.

Preguntas: change these statments into questions by inverting subject verb
