Asking Questions
In English the order of the words changes when converting a statement to a question. The same is true in German. When asking a question, the order is as follows: |
| Gehen wir bald? |
Are we leaving soon? |
| Ist das dein Freund Paul? |
Is that your friend Paul? |
| Bist du glücklich? |
Are you happy? |
| Kannst du morgen kommen? |
Are you able to come tomorrow? |
Just like in English you raise the pitch of your voice at the end of a question. In German you can also turn a statement into a question just by pronouncing it like a question.
Zum Beispiel:
| Er ist müde. |
He is tired. |
| Er ist müde? |
Is he tired? |
| Du rennst schnell. |
You are running fast. |
| Du rennst schnell? |
Are you running fast? |
| Das ist gut. |
That is good. |
| Das ist gut? |
Is that good? |
| Wir sind krank. |
We are sick. |
| Wir sind krank? |
Are we sick? |
