In summary, interrogative words other than wer and was form questions about adverbial or<br />
adjectival expressions: when, why, where, how, and so forth. And if those expressions include a<br />
preposition, a prepositional adverb is formed. But remember that prepositional phrases that<br />
describe location, motion to a place, or motion from a place require the use of wo, wohin, and<br />
woher, respectively:<br />
◆ Location (Where?):<br />
wo 1 verb of location 1 subject 1 ?<br />
Wo 1 sitzt 1 er 1 ?<br />
Where is he sitting?<br />
◆ Motion to a place (Where to?):<br />
wohin 1 verb of motion 1 subject 1 ?<br />
Wohin 1 geht 1 er 1 ?<br />
Where is he going?<br />
◆ Motion from a place (Where from?):<br />
woher 1 verb of motion 1 subject 1 ?<br />
Woher 1 kommst 1 du 1 ?<br />
Where do you come from?<br />
If the verb alone is the target of a question, no interrogative word is required. The verb<br />
merely precedes the subject in the question:<br />
Er lernt Deutsch.<br />
Lernt er Deutsch?<br />
He is learning German.<br />
Is he learning German?<br />
