Tener Description: Creating questions

Tener Description: Guess Who Prep

How do I turn a tener description into a question?

When you want to ask something like, "Does he have a mustache?" or "Does she have blue eyes?" you actually can word the question the same way you word the description.

Examples

"Tiene la barba" is "He has a beard"

"¿Tiene la barba?" is "Does he have a beard?"

The only thing to add is the question marks.

In Spanish, you start the question with an upside down question mark "¿" and end with a regular question mark "?"

Another example:

"Carla tiene ojos verdes." is "Carla has green eyes."

"¿Carla tiene ojos verdes?" is "Does Carla have green eyes?"

you could also say "¿TIene Carla ojos verdes?"
