Is there a proper format when asking a question?

Question

My book has the following format when asking a question:"È verde il libro grande?" I write it as such.But what's the difference with writing "È il libro grande verde?" Would Italians tilt their head? Or can it be used interchangeably?

Answer 1

it depends on what you want to enphasize. If you want to highlight the color, then you say: "E` VERDE...IL LIBRO..?". If the fact that you refer to the big book, then you say "IL LIBRO GRANDE....E`.."
