erman Grammar: How to Form Yes/No Questions (Ja/Nein Fragen)

This video explains how to form Yes/No questions (Ja/Nein Fragen) in German, a fundamental skill for beginners. Unlike English, which often uses helping verbs like "do" or "does," German follows a simpler, direct structure. The Core Rule: To turn a statement into a question, simply move the verb to the first position and place the subject second. Statement: "Du hast Zeit." (You have time.) Question: "Hast du Zeit?" (Do you have time?) No "Do/Does": The lesson highlights that German does not use auxiliary verbs like "do" or "does" to form questions. You just swap the verb and subject. Intonation: It emphasizes using a rising intonation at the end of the sentence to signal that it is a question. Answering: The video likely covers the three ways to answer: "Ja" (Yes), "Nein" (No), and the special word "Doch" (used to answer "yes" to a negative question).
