hi, i'm vietnamese. yes, a question for instance:
Tên của bạn là gì?
"Tên của bạn" is mean "your name". it is Subject.
" là " is mean " is". it is verb.
"gì" is the question words. it's mean "what".
keep trying!

Hi there,
Basically, Vietnamese put a question word (Wh-word or some modal particles play the role of contructing the questions) at the end of a sentence to make a question sentence.
For Wh-question:
Q: Bạn sống ở ĐÂU? (Where do you live?)
A: Tôi sống ở VIỆT NAM (I live in Vietnam)
[Đâu= where. "Việt Nam" is the information that answers for the word "đâu". In short, to make a Wh- question, you just simply replace what you want to know by the Wh-word at the same postion!]
For a yes/no question:
Q1: Bạn CÓ (phải) là học sinh KHÔNG? ( Are you a student?)
Q2: Bạn CÓ hay đi chơi vào tuần KHÔNG? (Do you often go out at the weekend?)
[Here we have a contructure S+ CÓ+ (adv)+ V+ N + KHÔNG]
As I have told you about modal practicles, here are some other examples:
Q1: Con chưa làm bài tập HẢ? (You haven't done your homeworks, right?)
Q2: Con sẽ làm bài tập CHỨ? ( Will you do your homeworks?)
Q3: Hôm qua, Jason (đã) đi chơi với bạn, PHẢI KHÔNG? ( Yesterday, Jason went out with you, didn't he?)
Q4 Bạn đã ăn cơm CHƯA? (Have you had your meal yet?)
Q5: Ngày mai cậu phải đi thật À? (Do you really have to leave tomorrow?)
Q6: Thứ bảy tuần này tụi mình đi xem phim, ĐƯỢC KHÔNG? (We will go to the cinema this Saturday ok?)
Q7: Anh vui lòng giải thích lại câu này, ĐƯỢC KHÔNG? (Would you mind explaning this statement again please?)
I do hope this will help you :-)
