Question 1
1.1. Form an interrogative sentence from each of the sentences below. Use the word provided in
the brackets each time. Do not change the tenses of the sentences.

Question 2
2.1. Look at the interrogative sentences you formed in 1.1.1 and 1.1.2. Based on the structure of
these sentences, explain how we can form questions in Afrikaans using specific pronouns. [You
may answer in English.]
Start with the question word (pronoun): Place the question word (such as "waar" or "wie")
at the beginning of the sentence.
Follow with the verb: After the question word, place the verb. This is similar to the
subject-verb inversion seen in English questions.
Include the subject: Next, place the subject of the sentence.
Add the rest of the sentence: Finally, include the remaining part of the sentence to complete
the question.
Example Structures:
Waar + verb + subject + rest of the sentence?
Original: "Neels speel sokker in die park."
Question: "Waar speel Neels sokker?"
Wie + verb + rest of the sentence?
Original: "Sara het die kos gebêre."
Question: "Wie het die kos gebêre?"
