Basic Sentence
The basic sentence has a subject and a verb.
The subject and verb need to be together. The subject and verb need to agree.
(You need to conjugate every sentence) It most likely will have additional things
like adjectives or phrases

How do we make a question?
Switch the subject and verb. Nothing else changes. Subject and verb are still conjugated. The English “are and do” do not
exist. (Are you walking to school?) German equivalent(Walk you to school?)
It does not make any sense in English but it is good German.

Key Questions
They are made by using “Who, What, Where, When, How”
The Key Word or W-Word goes at the front of the question.
Nothing else from the question sentence changes.
