"notify" --> syntax in questions vs statements

Question

I tried to ask this in "proofreading" but that forum does not appear to be very active.

This question does pertain to grammar so I've decided to post it here asking for help.

I've had a really hard time translating this sentence: Which supervisor did you notify about the problem?

Can someone tell me if this is correct?

¿A cuál supervisor avisó usted del problema?

I get confused when forming questions from statements and inverting the syntax.

The statement version of this question would be: You notified your supervisor about the problem.

I believe the statement version in Spanish would be: Usted avisó a su supervisor del problema.

Can anyone tell me if my Spanish question (¿A cuál supervisor avisó usted del problema?) is grammatically correct?

Thank you,

Alyssa

Answer 1

Alyssa:

Although your translation is OK, I am not sure you are aware of:

give notice = dar aviso

notify = notificar

let know = hacer saber

Would that help with your question?

Yes, your question is grammatically correct.

I woud like also to point out, that your English version is a statement and the one you are asking for correctness is a question in Spanish.

EDIT: And of course, I didn't read the title of the thread...
