- Add 'est-ce que' to the start of a question sentence, on its own or after a question word.
- The modal verbs 'devoir', 'vouloir', pouvoir' and 'savoir' give information about another verb.
- Modal verbs are usually followed by a second verb, which is always in the infinitive form
- Add '-ment' to the feminine form of most adjectives to make them into an adverb.

Keywords
Adverb - word that describes a verb or an adjective
Modal verb - verb of necessity or possibility used with a 2nd verb in infinitive e.g., must, can, want
Common misconception
All adverbs that tell us how and how often something happens come straight after the verb and we add -ment to all adjectives to make them adverbs.
There are exceptions to the adverb placement and adverb formation rules. For example 'parfois' usually comes at the start of a sentence. 'Dur' is an adjective which often doesn't change even when it is used as an adverb with certain verbs.
