Do you always need inversion for using que?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.
