This KS2 English quiz will test you on asking questions. The use of punctuation when asking questions in writing is very important.
¿Habla inglés? Spanish has a very interesting way of punctuating questions. In Spanish, an upside down question mark comes at the beginning of the question so that the reader will know to expect a question rather than a statement. English is not so helpful. In English, word order is nearly always used to show that you are reading or hearing a question. 'You are' becomes 'Are you?'
