Lesson 11: German Questions (Fragesätze)

What is a Question Sentence?

A question sentence is a sentence that asks for information. In German, there are two main types of questions you need to know:

  • Yes/No Questions (Ja/Nein-Fragen): Questions where the answer is simply “yes” or “no.” For example, “Are you learning German?”
  • W-Questions (W-Fragen): Questions that start with a W-word like wer (who), was (what), or wo (where). For example, “Where do you live?”

In the next lesson, we will learn how to make yes/no questions in German.
