Questions with WEES
Rule: A normal sentence has the order: subject, verb, object. To make it a question, the verb comes to the front. Said differently, the subject and verb swap places. If you have a question word, like WHY, WHEN, etc. you just add that before the verb.
Don't forget. If the sentence is future (sal) or past (het) , the helping verb comes to the front, since the verb is at the end of the sentence.
Present: Jy IS ok. > Is jy ok? Hoekom is jy ok?
Future:
(with SAL) Jonnie sal daar wees. > Sal Jonnie daar wees? Wanneer sal Jonnie daar wees?
(with GAAN) Jonnie gaan moeg wees. > Gaan Jonnie moeg wees? Wanneer gaan Jonnie moeg wees?
Past: Sy was hier (gewees). > Was sy hier (gewees)? Wanneer was sy hier (gewees)?
