A
<em>Satzfrage</em>
begins with the <a href="

" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
<em>Verb</em>
</a>. The <a href="
https://courseware.nus.edu.sg/e-daf/cwm/beg/e3/syntax/synsub.htm
" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
<em>Subjekt</em>
</a> usually follows right after the Verb. And of course, the question mark rounds off the
<em>Satzfrage</em>
.
Examples
<em>- Sprechen Ursula und Roland Spanisch?</em>
<em>- Ja, sie sprechen Spanisch.</em>
<em>- Spielst du gern Fußball?</em>
<em>- Nein, ich spiele lieber Tennis</em>
A
<em>Wortfrage</em>
always begins with a <a href="

" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
<em>Fragewort</em>
</a>
<em> (wer, wann, wie, wo...)</em>
. The <a href="
https://courseware.nus.edu.sg/e-daf/cwm/beg/e3/syntax/synsub.htm
" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
<em>Verb</em>
</a> and the <a href="
https://courseware.nus.edu.sg/e-daf/cwm/beg/e3/syntax/synsub.htm
" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
<em>Subjekt</em>
</a> follow in the second and third positions respectively. A question mark rounds off the
<em>Wortfrage</em>
.
Examples
<em>- Woher kommen Sie?</em>
<em>- Ich komme aus Australien.</em>
<em>- Was ist das?</em>
<em>- Das ist ein Tisch.</em>

Super Danke Alex!
So if I were to ask a 'Satzfrage' I could say:
Q: Kommen Sie Montag?
A: Nein, ich Komme Mittwoch.
and to ask a 'Wortfrage'
Q: Warum Sie kommen Mittwoch?
A: Ich habe am Mittwoch Deutschkurse.
