Asking questions about completed actions will involve using both 了 and 吗. These are simply added to the end of a sentence or statement. This means you might see questions with 了 and 吗 in different structures.

General structure

Subject + Verb + Object + 了吗

Examples

  • 你 去 了 吗
  • 你 吃饭 了 吗
  • 你 看 了 吗

Another common structure

Object + Verb + 了吗

Examples

  • 北京 去 了 吗
  • 饭 吃 了 吗
  • 电影 看 了 吗

Notice that in this one the object is introduced first as a topic.

Finally, please notice that this pattern is nothing more than the combination of the Expressing completion with le pattern and the Yes - no questions with ma pattern.
