== Types of Questions ==
==Interrogative Words==
Interrogative words in Urdu are used to ask questions. Here are the most common interrogative words:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Urdu !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| کیا || Kia || What
|-
| کون || Kaun || Who
|-
| کیسے || Kaise || How
|-
| کب || Kab || When
|-
| کہاں || Kahan || Where
|-
| کیوں || Kyun || Why
|-
| کتنا || Kitna || How much/many
|}
 
Here are some examples to see how interrogative Urdu words can be used in questions:
 
* Question: آپ کیوں رہتے ہیں؟ (Aap Kyun Rehtay Hain?)
* Translation: Why do you stay?
* Explanation: In this question, "kyun" (why) is used to ask the reason for someone staying.
 
* Question: تم کیسے صبح کو اٹھتے ہو؟ (Tum Kaise Subah Ko Uthtay Ho?)
* Translation: How do you wake up in the morning?
* Explanation: In this question, "kaise" (how) is used to ask about the manner of waking up.


There are two main types of questions in Urdu: yes/no questions and wh-questions.  
* Question: وہ کتنی کتابیں پڑھتا ہے؟ (Woh Kitni Kitaben Parhta Hai?)
* Translation: How many books does he read?
* Explanation: In this question, "kitni" (how many) is used to ask about the quantity of the noun "books".


=== Yes/No Questions ===
==Sentence Structure for Questions==
Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered with a simple yes or no. These questions usually start with a verb, such as "do", "can", "will", etc. For example:  
In Urdu, the sentence structure for questions is different from other sentences. In interrogative sentences, "کیا" (Kia) is used in the beginning of the sentence to indicate a question. Here is an example:  


* Do you understand?
* Statement: تم کتاب پڑھتے ہو۔ (Tum Kitab Parhtay Ho.)
* Can you speak Urdu?  
* Translation: You read a book.
* Will you help me?  
* Question: کیا تم کتاب پڑھتے ہو؟ (Kia Tum Kitab Parhtay Ho?)
* Translation: Do you read a book?


=== Wh-Questions ===
As you can see, "کیا" (Kia) comes in the beginning of the sentence in the question form.
Wh-questions are questions that require more information than just a yes or no answer. These questions usually start with a question word, such as "who", "what", "where", etc. For example:


* Who is your teacher?
==Yes/No Questions==
* What is your favorite Urdu word?
The yes/no questions are formed by using "کیا" (Kia) in the beginning, and the expected answer is either "ہاں" (Haan) for Yes or "نہیں" (Nahin) for No. Here are some examples:
* Where do you learn Urdu?


== Grammar Rules ==
* Question: کیا آپ نے کھانا کھایا؟ (Kia Aap Ne Khana Khaya?)
* Translation: Did you eat food?
* Answer: ہاں، میں نے کھانا کھایا۔ (Haan, Main Ne Khana Khaya.)
* Translation: Yes, I ate food.


When asking questions in Urdu, there are some grammar rules that must be followed.  
* Question: کیا تمہارے پاس پیسے ہیں؟ (Kia Tumharay Paas Paisay Hain?)
* Translation: Do you have money?
* Answer: نہیں، میرے پاس پیسے نہیں ہیں۔ (Nahin, Mere Paas Paisay Nahin Hain.)
* Translation: No, I don't have money.


* The verb comes first in the sentence.
==WH-Questions==
* The subject comes after the verb.
* The question word comes at the beginning of the sentence.
* The verb is conjugated according to the subject.


For example:  
WH-questions are formed by adding interrogative words (as discussed earlier) in the beginning of a sentence. Here are some examples:  


* Aap kya karte hain? (What do you do?)  
* Question: کون ہوتا ہے؟ (Kaun Hota Hai?)
* Woh kab aayega? (When will he come?)
* Translation: Who is there?
* Kaun hai aapka guru? (Who is your teacher?)
* Explanation: In this question, "kaun" (who) is used in the beginning to ask about the subject/noun.


== Conclusion ==
* Question: کہاں جانا ہے؟ (Kahan Jana Hai?)
* Translation: Where to go?
* Explanation: In this question, "kahan" (where) is used in the beginning to ask about the place of action.


In this lesson, we have discussed how to ask questions in Urdu. We looked at the two main types of questions, as well as the grammar rules that apply when asking questions. With this knowledge, you should now be able to ask questions in Urdu confidently.  
* Question: اسکول کب کھلتا ہے؟ (School Kab Kholta Hai?)
* Translation: When does the school open?
* Explanation: In this question, "kab" (when) is used in the beginning to ask about the time of action.
