Basic Structure
In German, the basic sentence structure is formed in this way:
subject + verb + object.
The subject is doing the action, and the object is affected by it.
Das Wetter ist schlecht. (The weather is bad.)
Yes /No Questions
To ask a question, we simply move the verb to the beginning of the sentence and add a question mark at the end:
verb + subject + object + ?
Ist das Wetter schlecht? (Is the weather bad?)
We can reply to this type of question with a simple "yes" or "no".
If we want to be more engaging and conversational, we can also repeat the question in our response by changing the word order back to the basic structure, with the verb coming after the subject.
Question: Hat er braune Augen? (Does he have brown eyes?)
Anwer: Ja, er hat braune Augen. (Yes, he has brown eyes.)
