✕Common Mistakes
Vas‑tu nous poser quelles questions ?
The interrogative adjective must precede the noun; ‘quelles questions’ cannot be placed after the verb.
Tu vas nous poser quelles questions ?
In formal French the inversion is required; the simple ‘tu vas’ construction sounds informal and the word order is incorrect.
Vas‑tu poser nous questions ?
Object pronouns go before the infinitive, not after it.

Cultural Tip
The inversion ‘vas‑tu’ is typical of written or formal spoken French. In everyday conversation many speakers prefer the ‘est‑ce que’ construction or simply a rising‑intonation: ‘Tu vas nous poser quelles questions ?’ However, the inverted form sounds more polished and is ideal for presentations, interviews, or language‑learning practice.
