In [[Koine Greek]], sentence order does not necessarily change to indicate a question, as it does in English (for example: ''I am a man'' is a statement, whereas ''Am I a man?'' is a question). Questions are indicated in Greek by a semi-colon - ";", which is equivalent to the English question-mark - "?".
===Special cases===
The addition of certain words can change the emphasis of a question. For example, in English, "I am a man, aren't I?" changes the emphasis of the question so that an answer in the affirmative is expected. In contrast, "I'm not a man, am I?" implies that an answer in the negative is expected. Similarly, in Koine Greek, the addition of certain words changes the emphasis of the question.
