Basic Interrogative sentences in french

There are two main types of question in french:-1. yes /no questions, to which it is possible to answer simply 'yes' or 'no':for example:
Aimez-vous la musique pop? Oui
Do you like pop music? Yes

Est-ce que tu as fait tes devoirs? Non
Have you done your homework? No


2. Information questions:  These questions are impossible to answer simply 'yes' or 'no', but which require a piece of information in response. Information questions involve the use of a question word or phrase like qui, que, quand, comment, où, pourquoi, pour quelle raison, avec quel ami, de quoi, and so on.
for example:
