How to turn short statements into questions
posted 1 year ago
Any short statement in German can be turned into an equally short question. It’s quite easy, you just have to adhere to the following rules:
1. Questions without a question word:
The verb has to precede the subject. Examples:
Wir kommen heute an. (We arrive today.) - Kommen wir heute an? (Do we arrive today?)
Du trinkst Kaffee. (You(‘re) drink(ing) coffee) - Trinkst du Kaffee? (Do / Are you drink(ing) coffee?)
2. Questions with question words:
The verb has to follow the question word and precede the subject. Examples:
Wo wohnst du? - Where do you live? (literal: Where live you?)
Wie komme ich zum Bahnhof? - How do I get to the station? (literal: How come I to the station?)
