You can add the particle 吗 (ma) to the end of a declarative sentence to make it a question.
Note that 吗 (ma) has a neutral tone.
Listen to the audio and complete the sentence below.
你是中国人 (nǐ shì zhōng guó rén) BLANK？
吗 (ma)
This is a question particle used at the end of a sentence. Don't forget to type 5 at the end for neutral tone syllables.
吗 (ma) indicates an interrogative mood. It's used at the end of a declarative sentence to change a statement into a question. For example:
你是开发者 (nǐ shì kāi fā zhě)。 is a statement meaning "You are a developer". Adding 吗 (ma) at the end transforms it into a question: 你是开发者吗 (nǐ shì kāi fā zhě ma)？, which means "Are you a developer?"
