Ni Hao Benny!!!
I was wondering, on the example of “How did you like the movie?” when you say the question you don’t say “ma” at the end. I thought that “ma” at the end of a sentence makes it a question. Is there something I’m not understanding?

Hi Chris, when a sentence has a question word such as “what, when, how, what time….”, it doesn’t need the question word “ma”, because “what, when, how….” already indicate this sentence is a question
