- in interro-negative form, the adverb
« ne » is always placed first if the subject is a pronoun.

« ne ...pas »,
« ne...plus »,
« ne...jamais », etc...) surround the verb
sur-aller and the inverted subject pronoun.

« t » is added to the pronoun of the third person:
« il »,
« elle »,
« on »,
« ils »,
« elles » except when the verb ends with
« t » or
« d »:
« ne sur-va-t-elle pas ? »,
« ne sur-alla-t-elle pas ? »,
« ne sur-ira-t-elle pas ? »,
« n'a-t-elle pas sur-allé ? »,
« n'aura-t-elle pas sur-allé ? ».
Finally, the interrogative form does not exist in subjunctive and imperative.
