Asking simple questions in Russian is mostly about how you say them rather than changing the order of the words. Here’s a straightforward guide to help you ask questions and understand them better:

1. Intonation Pattern:

   • Raise your voice at the end of the question.
   • For example: "Ты идёшь?" (Are you going?)

2. Question Words:

   • "Что" means "What"
   • "Где" means "Where"
   • "Когда" means "When"
   • For example: "Что это?" (What is this?)

3. Yes/No Questions:

   • Just say a statement and raise your voice at the end.
   • For example: "Ты дома?" (Are you at home?)

4. Practice Writing:

   • Try writing down ten simple questions using the words above.

5. Speaking Practice:

   • Find a friend and take turns asking and answering questions.
   • Don’t forget to use the right intonation to show it's a question.

By following these easy tips, you can ask simple questions in Russian using the right intonation!
