I was thrown!

Question

I wouldn't have thought the very last sentence would be a question, so I had a guess and got it wrong of course.Should it have ended more better?

Accepted Answer

Hi Martin,
The last sentence -
Et toi, où habites-tu ?  = What about you, where do you live?
can only be a question so not sure what you mean...

Answer

Just the finishing of a dialogue, why would it end with a question that's all.

Answer

Interesting observation! The structure is used often in teaching where a narrator talks to an audience and tells the audience  about something, and then at the end says “What about your situation?”. I hadn’t really noticed that this device was being used in a conversation between two people until you mentioned it, leaving a question unnaturally hanging at the end.
