Questions
In German, questions have the following structure:
| Verb + subject + predicate |
Here are some examples:
| Gehen sie mit uns ? |
Are they coming with us? |
| Kaufst du die Zeitung ? |
Are you buying the newspaper? |
| Sind sie hier ? |
Are they here? |
If the verb is a compound verb, then you start the the sentence with the auxiliary verb and you end with the main verb?
| Sind sie mit uns gegangen ? |
Have then come with us? |
| Hast du die Zeitung gekauft ? |
Have you bought the newspaper? |
| Sind sie hier gewesen ? |
