Word order of questions

Question

Hi quick question,

I'm looking at this verb book it it says to put the pronoun after the verb if you ask a question "¿vende ella ropa?"

I always thought it was ¿Ella vende ropa?

Does it not matter?

Answer 1

A) Are you running?

B) You are running.

C) You are running?

Word order has this effect in English, and to a great extent, similarly in Spanish.

Sentences A and B show this natural order, but C sounds a bit clumsy and relies more on the punctuation.

As parallel to the English, your example reads like this:

X) ¿Vende ella ropa?

Y) Ella vende ropa.

Z) ¿Ella vende ropa?

Thanks I guess A makes the most sense so try it that way. I thought having the pronoun first would make it be more like A - ionisme, Aug 18, 2011

The subject pronoun....there are many more types of pronouns. - 0074b507, Aug 18, 2011
