Hello,
You are luckier on this forum than on the French one where you also forgot to say Hello or thank you and got your topic cancelled. If I were a sales-assistant in a shop, wouldn't you say hello before asking for help ?
There is no difference.
Is John absent = Is he absent ?
Does John like tea ? = Does he like tea ?
There is a difference between English and French, though.
In English, you can invert a proper noun or a noun:
Does John like tea? Does your friend like tea ?
In French , you can't:
Aime John le thé ? doesn't make sense, and you have to invert the pronoun:
John aime-t-il le thé ? Ton ami aime-t-il le thé ?
