How did I go today? Is my sentence order correct?

Nǐ shì è le mǎ ma？
你 是 饿 了 吗？
are you hungry？

Nǐ shǐ shì    jīn tiān é  è  le mǎ ma
你      是     今  天     饿 了       吗？
are you hungry today？

you should pay attention to your tone of your sentenses. Different tone maybe have differentmeaning, even though they are the same word, just like  Wow! Ah! well and so on. 

are you hungry ? this sentence in Chinese we always say 你饿了吗？ And the other sentence is that 你今天饿了吗？ or 今天你饿了吗？ there's no distinct difference between 你今天饿了吗？and 今天你饿了吗？just like: are you hungry today ? and today, are you hungry ? do you think there's any difference? ? If you add the word "today " "今天", the  emphasis of this sentence will be in that word "today" "今天”.

And, in fact, we also can say 你是饿了吗？你今天是饿了吗？ But they are different from 你饿了吗？ 你今天饿了吗？

你是饿了吗？你今天是饿了吗？ the two are more official and formal.

你饿了吗？你今天饿了吗？ the two are more casual and informal.

can you understand ? If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

How did I go today? Is my sentence order correct?

Nǐ shì è le mǎ？
你 是 饿 了 吗？
are you hungry？

Nǐ shǐ jīntiān é le mǎ
你 是 今天 饿 了吗？
are you hungry today？

Chinese do not use 'are' the way we do. Chinese adjectives act as verbs, you do not add 是 to turnm them into verbs.

饿=to be hungry- 我很饿/我饿了 -correct 我是饿-wrong。 There is a difference between saying 我很饿 and 我饿了, but I suggest you dont worry about that yet

累to be tired 我很饿/我累了-correct， 我是累-wrong. Againthere is a difference between saying 我很饿 and我累了

Nǐ shì è le mǎ？
你 是 饿 了 吗？
are you hungry？

Just say "你饿了吗？“means do you wanna eat something?

if you strees this sentence ,you can use 你是饿了吗？either.

Nǐ shǐ jīntiān é le mǎ
你 是 今天 饿 了吗？
are you hungry today？

usually we say:你现在饿了吗？are you hungry now?
