•  Interrogative Particles.  أ / هل are interrogative particles which are used to introduce questions that may be answered with either Yes or No.

أ ؟هل هذا مکتبٌ؟   

Is this an office?

      There is some phonological restriction on the use of  أ when the following word starts with a Hamza, such as:

أأنتَ جديدٌ هنا؟         
  
  It is better, in fact easier phonetically, to use هل

هل أنتَ جديدٌ هنا؟        

  • Interrogative Particles أ / هل  (revisited). The Arabic language does not tolerate the use of  هل  with any form of   ليسَ  in order to make a question. You have to stick with . أ

أليسَ الطالبُ في المکتبةِ؟

Isn't the student (m) in the library?
