Subject-Verb Inversion

Subject-Verb Inversion

This was a quiz question. The correct answer was indicated as “Are you going to the cinema tonight?”.  There is no question mark, so is “Go to cinema tonight!” not the correct answer?
"Allez-vous au cinéma ce soir" means:

Go to the cinema tonight!

Are you going to the cinema tonight?

To go with you to the cinema

Hi James,

The only possible answer is with the inversion subject and verb.

If you wanted to say -

Go to the cinema tonight!

you would use the imperative

Allez au cinéma ce soir !

The question mark was left out deliberately so as not to make it too easy to answer that it was a question.

Hope this helps!
