How yes/no questions work

Start with 1–2 patterns and reuse them constantly.

  • Add か (ka) to make a polite question: …ですか? / …ますか?
これは何ですか?
Kore wa nan desu ka
What is this?
どこですか?
Doko desu ka
Where is it?
英語を話しますか?
Eigo o hanashimasu ka
Do you speak English?
トイレはどこですか?
Toire wa doko desu ka

Practice tip

Turn statements into questions using the same pattern.

  • Say it as a statement, then as a question.
  • Keep intonation natural — don’t overdo it.
