  3. Asking Questions in English • Choose a scribe • On board, make a list of ways that we ask questions in English

  5. Seeking Information • Begin an ‘asking’ question with an interrogative. • Give examples of interrogatives in English • Ubi? (Where?) Ubi est insula? • Quis? (Who?) Quis in via ambulat? • Quid? (What?) Quid spectas?

  6. Seeking Yes or No Answer • Examples in English • Are you going to the store? • Your father went to Hanes High School, didn’t he?

  7. In Latin – yes or no questions • Add an –ne ending to the first word to ask a yes/no type question. • Estne Europa in Italia? • Estne Italia insula? • If you expect the answer to be yes, begin with the word nonne. • Nonne erat causa vera? (Was that not the true reason?

  8. NOTE When adding –ne to end of a word, the word’s accent may change (insulamne). For a word like Corsica, which ends with 2 short syllables, begin the sentence with a different word.
