How it works
A yes/no question normally begins with the finite verb, followed by the subject. An information question begins with a W-word, and the finite verb remains in the next constituent position.
finite verb + subject …? · question word + finite verb + subject …?
See it in a sentence
Wohnst du in Berlin?
Do you live in Berlin?
“Wohnst” begins the yes/no question and comes before the subject “du”.
Wo wohnt deine Schwester?
Where does your sister live?
“wohnt” follows the question word “Wo” and comes before its subject.
