Is pronoun only used in inversion type?
Hi ,,,Is pronoun only used in inversion type? Or can we use the noun instead of pronoun.... example Parle-t Michael francais? instead of Parle-t-il francais? Please clarify ... Thank you in advance
This question relates to:French lesson "Inverted questions in the present tense (Le Présent) in French - regular forms (except il/elle/on forms)"

Hi Sivavathana,
As Chris rightly points out, in this case you have to use a pronoun as well as a name.
Michael, parle-t-il français?
If too much of a mouthful you can use "est-ce-que" and you won't need the additional pronoun.
Est-ce -que Michael parle français?
Hope this helps!

No, you would say "Michael parle-t-il français ?" So, yes,you would use the pronoun in the inverted question.
