French Question Grammar and Word Order
I am slowly getting my head around the fact Frnech, for the most, places adjectives after verbs, unlike English. I am getting the hang of adding est-ce after a question word such as what, which, why etc, but I am really struggling though with the structure of questions involving verbs towards the end of Fluenz 1. For example, ijn the time session 27, the question, 'At what time is the plane going to arrive' I translate to 'A quelle heure est-ce l'avion va ariver' i.e. At which hour 'question' the plane is going to arrive. However, apparently the answer is 'A quelle heure est-ce que va arriver l'avion' or At which hours 'question' is going to arrive the plane. This grammar seems hard to understand.
