When writing a question in Spanish like, ¿Vende él? Does the pronoun always follow the verb?

Question

The sentence is E'l vende. But I see the questions written
¿Vende él? Is there a rule about this?

Answer 1

Yes, the verb will go before the pronoun in a question. But the pronoun doesn´t have to be always next to the verb. It will depend on the emphasis you want to give to the question.

¿Vende él más que su hermano?
Does he sell more than his brother?

¿Vende más él que su hermano?
Does he sell more than his brother?

Both are correct.

Answer 2

Yes, in Spanish, the subject and verb are always flipped when asking a question.
For example:
E'l Baile: He Dances
vs.
¿Baile E'l?: Does he dance?

So yes, ¿Vende E'l? is gramatically correct.

Note:
Pasta de dientes isn't actually backwards. Because it has the "de" in there, which means "of", it just meant paste of the teeth, which is gramatically correct in English, you would just sound weird.
The only thing that we really notice as backwards is subject and adjectives. Like "Manzana Rojo" or "apple red". If the subject is new only personally, than the adjective comes first.
For example, if you bought a car that is a 2000, it is new to you, so you would say, "Mi nuevo carro." Otherwise, you would say, "El carro nuevo."

Answer 3

Martha P is correct. When asking a question in a certain way or in other types of phrases the pronoun can follow the verb.
Otherwise the pronoun goes before the verb, or is implied in the form of the verb itself.

i.e
Yo vendo boletos = vendo boletos ("vendo" always means "I sell")

"Vende boletos" ("vende" by itself could mean el/ella or usted), so you usually specify who, if you haven't said it elsewhere on the phrase. Ella vende boletos = She sells tickets

¿Vendí suficientes boletos? (Did I sell enough tickets?) You would not say "yo vendí" because you are asking a question and it is already implied in the verb. You would use "YO vendí suficientes boletos as an affirmation, not a question.

However, in the same example, if you are asking whether SHE sold enough tickets, then you do have to specify the subject, and you would ask ¿Vendió ella suficientes boletos? IF you are not already talking about her somewhere else in the phrase.

If you just say ¿Vendió suficientes boletos? it could mean el/ ella / or usted.

Hope this helps...

Answer 4

vende el is not correct. if you are asking if someone will sell you something, you can put ''me lo vende?'' or used as a command ''vendamelo''

Answer 5

yes the verb is first.
you always say it the oposite way as you say it in english
example
pasta de dientes...tooth paste..literally i just said paste tooth.
sopa the pollo....chicken soup..literallu..soup of chicken.
