Types of Questions

In Twi, there are two main types of questions: yes/no questions and wh-questions.

Yes/No Questions

Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with either "yes" or "no". In Twi, these questions are formed by adding the particle "ɔ" to the end of the sentence. For example:

• Wohwɛ? (Are you coming?)
• Wohwɛɔ? (Are you coming?)

The only difference between the two sentences is the addition of the particle "ɔ" at the end of the second sentence. This is how you form yes/no questions in Twi.

Wh-Questions

Wh-questions are questions that begin with a question word such as "who", "what", "when", etc. In Twi, these questions are formed by adding the particle "a" to the beginning of the sentence. For example:

• Wohwɛ? (Are you coming?)
• A wohwɛ? (Who is coming?)

The only difference between the two sentences is the addition of the particle "a" at the beginning of the second sentence. This is how you form wh-questions in Twi.

Grammar Rules

When forming questions in Twi, there are a few grammar rules that you need to keep in mind.

• The verb always comes first in the sentence.
