    .I feel like this analogy doesn’t entirely work because you always know where the question starts, as that’s where the sentence startS.

    Not always. For example (translated):

    And you, ¿how are you?

      You could write that as “And you? How are you?” so both parts of that sentence are still a question.

      However there are other examples where you’re right: “,That’s not going to happen, ¿or is it?”
