The subject and verb are inverted when a question sentence begins with the verb.

“to be”  am, is, are, was, were

Are you going?
Is he/she going?
Are they going?

The subject and verb are inverted when a question sentence

begins with one of the following question words:

What / When / Where / Why / How / How much

Examples:

Where are you going to go to school?

When are you coming home?
How is he doing?
How much does it cost?

The subject and verb are inverted when a question sentence

begins with do or does.

Examples:

In all other instances, the word order remains with the subject first, then the verb.

Examples:

Could you tell me what time it is, please?
