Let’s revise the basics

When changing a Japanese sentence to a

question form, you simply add か at the end

of the sentence.

You may remember the question

なんさい ですか。 Or どこに すんでいますか。

They both end with か

Asking where someone is from

どこ から きましたか。

Where are you from? (although the literal

meaning is more like – ‘Where did you come

from’)

どこ から ですか。 This is another way of

asking ‘Where are you from?’

Responding to the question There are 2 ways of responding to the

previous question.
