The proper usage of هل in converstaion I am trying to understand the usage of هل - which translates to "is" in English. Now, in English you can use "is" in either example below. "Is this your father?" and "Yes, this is my father." However, I don't think هل works the same way; From what I can tell, it looks like هل is only used when it is a question. Is this correct? شكرا
