Chapter 19: Interrogative clauses

  19.1.3.1 A simple inversion can only be done with a pronoun

Example
  Vous savez le faire. => Savez-vous le faire?
  They can (know how to) do it. => Can they do it?  

If the subject of the clause is a noun, this simple inversion is not possible.
It is easier to form the question with est-ce que.

Example
  Les femmes lisent des livres. => Est-ce que les femmes lisent des livres?
      Also: Les femmes, lisent-elles des livres?
    Women read books. =>   Do women read books?
