Lesson 7: Forming Questions in German and Interrogatives

In German, questions can be formed in two ways depending upon what kind of answer you are looking for. If you're looking to elicit some information, questions begin with an interrogative. A list of them can be seen below:
Wann when
Was what
Wo where
Wie how
Welche + noun which
Wieviel + singular noun how much
Wie viele + plural noun how many
If your question seeks to elicit a yes or no response, then the question starts with a verb:
Hast du Zeit?
Do you have time?

Spielen sie heute Golf?
Are they playing golf today?
