Structure
Topic + (Subject) + Verb + 了吗?
NOTE: in this structure, the topic is also the object for the Verb.
Examples

- 电影 你 看 了 吗？Did you watch the movie?
- 作业 你 写 了 吗？Did you do homework?

- 酒 你 喝 了 吗？Did you drink alcohol?
- 电话 你 给 我 打 了 吗？Did you call me?
- 咖啡 你 今天 喝 了 吗？Did you drink coffee today?
- 水果 你 吃 了 吗？Did you eat fruit?
Notice that in these examples 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.
