Before you make a sentence, you must know about clause. What is actually clause ? A clause is a group of words that contains a verb (and usually other components too). A clause may form part of a sentence or it may be a complete sentence in itself.

A. Main clause
A. Main clause
Every sentence contains at least one main clause. A main clause may form part of a compound sentence or a complex sentence, but it also makes sense on its own.

B. Subordinate clause

A subordinate clause depends on a main clause for its meaning. Together with a main clause, a subordinate clause forms part of a complex sentence.

E. Restrictive/Defining Relative Clause
E. Restrictive/Defining Relative Clause
A restrictive relative clause (also known as a defining relative clause) gives essential information about a noun that comes before it, without this clause the sentence wouldn’t make much sense. A restrictive relative clause can be introduced by that, which, whose, who, or whom. You should not place a comma in front of a restrictive relative clause. Example: She held out the hand that was hurt.

F. Non-Restrictive/Defining Relative Clause
F. Non-Restrictive/Defining Relative Clause
A non-restrictive relative clause (also called a non-defining relative clause) provides extra information that could be left out without affecting the meaning or structure of the sentence. Non-restrictive relative clauses are normally introduced by which, whose, who, or whom, but never by that. You should place a comma in front of them if a non-restrictive relative clause is in the middle of a sentence.

2. Compound sentence : A compound sentence contains two or more clauses of equal status (or main clause), which are normally joined by a conjunction such as and or but. For example : You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

3. A complex sentence is also made up of clauses, but in this case the clauses are not equally balanced. They contain a main clause and one or more subordinate clause. For example: We went back to work after we have had lunch. The italic words are the subordinate clause.

5W+H questions can be formed using this formula : QUASM? ( Qu estion word + A uxiliary verb + S ubject + M ain verb ? )
What is the auxiliary verb? An auxiliary verb helps the main (full) verb and is also called a "helping verb." With auxiliary verbs, you can write sentences in different tenses, moods, or voices. Auxiliary verbs are: be, do, have, will, shall, would, should, can, could, may, might, must, ought, etc.
Take a look the following examples:
What
What are you doing?
Where
Where do you live?
When
When did you get home?
Who
Who were you talking with?
Why
Why do you love me?
How
How could you leave me?
(some time you need to add an adverb at the end of your sentence)
How do you think? Easy right. Now you can practice to make your own question sentences. Good luck
