In German, the word order in interrogative sentences follows a specific pattern different from declarative sentences. Here are the key rules:

Direct Questions (W-Questions)

• The interrogative word (wer, was, wann, wo, wie, etc.) comes first.
• The subject follows the interrogative word.
• Then comes the verb.
• The remaining sentence elements follow the verb.

Example: Wer hat dieses Buch gelesen? (Who has read this book?)

Indirect Questions

• The word order is the same as in declarative sentences.
• The interrogative word is embedded within the sentence.

Example: Ich frage mich, wer dieses Buch gelesen hat. (I wonder who has read this book.)

Yes/No Questions

• The verb comes first.
• The subject follows the verb.
• The remaining sentence elements come after the subject.

Example: Hast du dieses Buch gelesen? (Have you read this book?)

It's important to note that the conjugation of the verb changes based on the subject in yes/no questions.

Inversion with Introductory Elements

• If the sentence begins with an introductory element (e.g., adverb, prepositional phrase), the verb comes after the introductory element, and the subject follows the verb.

Example: Gestern hast du dieses Buch gelesen? (Did you read this book yesterday?)

Mastering the word order in interrogative sentences is crucial for forming correct questions in German and facilitating effective communication.
