Question

Do you always need inversion for using que?

Que cherches-tu?
Que cherche Marie?
How do you add "elle" to this last one?
Is it: Que Marie cherche-t-elle?

With qui,
Qui cherche Marie? How do you know is it, who is looking for Marie or who is Marie looking for?

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Didn't we go over the 4 ways to ask a question?

1. the simplest is straight word order plus non? = Marie cherche un livre, non?
2. next easy way is straight word order plus n'est-ce pas? = Marie cherche un livre, n'est-ce pas?
3. then with Est-ce que = Est-ce que Marie cherche un livre?
4. the post "complicated" way (perhaps) but the most used is with inversion = Marie cherche-t-elle un livre?

Yes, your last question is good.
