This episode is the third part of a series about asking questions in French. If you ever travel to France and engage in any interaction with a native French speaker, you'll definitely need to ask them questions in French! In order to give you the confidence to do so, this episode will focus on getting the order of the sentence right when the verb is made of several words (I'll talk about the compound tenses, the near future and the recent past). We'll reuse what you've learnt in episode 111 of French Your Way Podcast to play around with the different structures to ask questions in French, so if you're new to this podcast I recommend you first  listen to episode 111 (www.frenchyourway.com.au/podcast111 )
