Bonjour Cheryl !

Let's take this negative statement in Le Passé Composé:
"Tu n'as pas mangé aujourd'hui." (You haven't eaten today.)

In an inverted question, it will become:
"N'as-tu pas mangé aujourd'hui ?"

Also have a look at our lesson on inverted questions in Le Passé Composé:

I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
