Questions: yes/no questions that sound natural

Learn the main yes/no question pattern, then reuse it with new vocabulary.

How yes/no questions work

Start with 1–2 patterns and reuse them constantly.

  • Yes/no questions often use intonation (no helper verb).
  • Question words (кто/что/где…) typically stay in the same position.
Где вы живёте?
gde vy zhivyote
Where do you live?
Почему нет?
pochemu nyet
Why not?
Вы говорите по-английски?
vy govorite po-angliyski
Do you speak English? (formal/plural)
Где туалет?
gde tualet
Where is the toilet?

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.
