| 19.1.3.4 Exception 1st person singular |
In general the construction with the inversion does not work with the first person singular (je = I). In these cases the question is formed with est-ce que.
| Examples | ||
| J' ai acheté un livre. => | Est-ce que j' ai acheté un livre? | 
|
| NOT: Ai-je acheté un livre? | ||
| I have bought a book.=> | Have I bought a book? |
(To be very precise - in some cases of very often used verbs, the inversion can be used, but it is not common to do so.)
