<div class="pg_page_title">Tswana Grammar - How to Ask Questions</div>
Hi Tswana learners! 😊<br>In today's lesson, we will be learning about how to ask questions in Tswana. Asking questions is an important part of any language, and it's essential to understand the rules of grammar when forming questions. We'll look at the different types of questions, as well as the different ways to form them. By the end of this lesson, you should have a good understanding of how to ask questions in Tswana.
__TOC__

== Types of Questions ==

There are two main types of questions in Tswana: yes/no questions and wh-questions.

=== Yes/No Questions ===
Yes/no questions are used to ask for a simple yes or no answer. They usually start with a verb, such as "do", "can", "will", etc. For example:

* Do you understand?
* Can you speak Tswana?
* Will you come to class tomorrow?

=== Wh-Questions ===
Wh-questions are used to ask for more information. They usually start with a question word, such as "what", "where", "when", etc. For example:

* What is your name?
* Where do you live?
* When did you learn Tswana?

== Forming Questions ==

When forming questions in Tswana, there are a few rules to keep in mind.

* The verb comes first.
* The subject follows the verb.
* The question word comes at the beginning of the sentence.

For example:

* Does he speak Tswana?
* What does she like to do?
* Where can I find a Tswana dictionary?

It's also important to remember that the verb conjugation changes depending on the subject. For example:

* Does he speak Tswana?
* Does she speak Tswana?

In the first sentence, the verb is conjugated for a male subject ("he"), while in the second sentence, the verb is conjugated for a female subject ("she").

== Conclusion ==

In this lesson, we looked at the different types of questions in Tswana, as well as the rules for forming them. Now you should have a better understanding of how to ask questions in Tswana.
