How do you type a question mark in spanish?

Answer 1

Juan es médico. ¿Es Juan médico? yes/no question. ¿De qué trabaja Juan? or ¿Qué profesión tiene Juan? (What's Juan's job? supposing you don't know)

María vive en Miami. ¿Vive María en Miami? ¿Dónde vive María?

Answer 2

By using:

Qué, cómo, dónde, quién, quiénes, cuáles, cuál, cuántos, cuánto, cuánta, cuántos, por qué, para qué, a qué...

These words always have an accent (´), otherwise they have another meaning.

They can be preceded or not by an upside-down question-mark and followed by a normal (?) question-mark:

¿Quién es usted? --- Who are you? (polite singular; direct question)

Vi que venían, mas no supe quiénes eran --- I saw they were coming but I didn't know who they were (indirect question)

Never in correct Spanish:

*Quien es usted?

*Vi que venían, mas no supe quienes eran.

¿Qué desea? Veo que no me dirá qué desea --- What do you wish? I notice you won't tell me what you wish.

Wrong use:

*Que desea? Veo que no me dirá que desea.

* The importance of written accent avoids confusion. Remember that Spanish is a language of vowel intensity, thus, sentences such as: Quien viene (who is coming), que quieren (that / who want), have another meaning in comparison with: Quién viene (Who is coming?), qué quieren (what do they want?). Take into account that the latter can have question marks ¿?, in direct questions. For indirect questions, question marks are not used.

The use of the written accent, in these cases, depends upon the speaker's intention and the context, asking either direct or indirect questions.

Answer 3

To punctuate a question in Spanish you begin with an upside down question mark and end with a question mark. ¿Como te llamas?

Answer 4

You actually write 2 question marks. One at the beginning of your question ¿ , and one at the end: ? So "What's the time?" would be ¿Qué hora es?

Answer 5

Interrogante.
