用“吗”提问
Using "吗" to form a question
Explanation
"吗" is an interrogative particle placed at the end of a declarative sentence to turn it into a yes-no question. You simply add "吗" to the end of an affirmative sentence, for example: "他是老师" (He is a teacher) becomes "他是老师吗?" (Is he a teacher?). This way of asking is very common and simple for beginners learning Chinese.
