OK so we now know how to  say what is happening.

 

Now we will learn how to turn this into a question

We know that gülüyorsunuz translates to you are smiling, to turn this into a question

Take gülüyorsunuz

Split the word into two parts gülüyor sunuz

then replace the last word with its question form musunuz

and you will have gülüyor musunuz?

The they form differs as you put the mi right at the end rather that at the beginning of the second word

Köşuyorlar   needs to be Köşuyorlar mı?

and

geliyor  will be geliyor mu?

Have you noticed the vowel harmony with the last two examples?

Just as a little recap lets look at the vowel harmony with the words bak, sür, ver and turn them into

I am looking                bakıyorum

your  driving               sürüyorsun

we're  giving              veriyoruz

Your turn, have a go at turning these into questions, just one thing to note that on some occasions there will be  a vowel clash, avoid this by adding y in between the 2 vowels

 

The next thing you need to know is how to make Whats happening? NEGATIVE

Earlier we discussed how to make what’s happening negative and it’s exactly the same here, so for an example we will work with gülüyor musunuz?

All we need to do is add the -m

gülmüyor musunuz?

That’s it
