Fragen mit Modalverben

Questions with modal verbs

Ask W-questions and yes/no questions with a modal verb. The main verb still goes to the end.

The tip

  • Better way to remember: the modal verb takes the place of the main verb (conjugated), and the main verb goes to the end in the infinitive.

W-questions: without and with a modal verb

  • Was machst du heute?What are you doing today?
  • Was willst du heute machen?What do you want to do today?
  • Wie kann ich Deutsch lernen?How can I learn German?
  • Wo dürfen wir das Auto parken?Where are we allowed to park the car?
  • Wie viele Stunden musst du arbeiten?How many hours do you have to work?
  • Welcher Film soll ich sehen?Which film should I watch?

Yes/No questions: without and with a modal verb

  • Kochst du heute Abend?Are you cooking this evening?
  • Willst du heute Abend kochen?Do you want to cook this evening?
  • Dürfen wir hier rauchen?Are we allowed to smoke here?
