Quel(s) (interrogative adjective)
‘Quel’ changes to ‘Quels’ before a plural masculine noun; it asks ‘which/what’.
Noun‑adjective agreement
‘services’ is masculine plural, so the adjective ‘spéciaux’ must also be masculine plural.
Proposer (verb)
‘proposer’ means ‘to offer’; in the present tense 2nd person singular it is ‘proposes’.
Subject‑verb inversion
In formal or written questions, the subject pronoun follows the verb with a hyphen: ‘proposes‑tu’.
Question mark
A question in French ends with a single ‘?’; the opening ‘?’ is optional in modern writing.

Cultural Tip
In French business settings, using ‘tu’ signals familiarity or a casual relationship; with strangers or in formal contexts you would switch to ‘vous’: ‘Quels services spéciaux proposez‑vous ?’. Also, French speakers appreciate precise wording – ‘services spéciaux’ often refers to premium or customized options, so be ready to specify what you mean.
