Now it is time to learn how to ask questions in Arabic. Questions are simply formed by putting a question word in front of the phrase that is questioned. Here is a list of Arabic question words:

hal	makes a yes/no question
kayfa	how
kam	how much
man	who
maadhaa, maa	what
lemaadhaa, lema	why
ayna	where
matE	when
ay	which

If you want to form elegant questions, try, whenever possible, to put the verb right after the question word, in other words, try to make a verbal phrase after the question word. An example of a weak (yet still grammatically correct) translation of the question "do you listen to the radio?" is:
hal anta tasma3o alraadyoo?
As you see, the second word is not a verb, A better translation would be:
hal tasma3o anta alraadyoo?
And remembering that subject pronouns could even be removed, we get to how a native would translate the question:
hal tasma3o alraadyoo?
So the technique is hopefully clear by now, whenever possible try to put the verb in the second place. Knowing this technique, you can ask all kinds of questions like a native ;)

For answering questions and forming more expressive phrases, one needs some prepositions and articles. So it is a good chance to learn them now. Here is a list of useful prepositions and articles:

menn	from/than
elE	to
3an	about
3alE	on
fee	in
be-	with
ka-	like
l-	for
anna	that
la'nna	for that/because
lakenna	but

A simple example of using prepositions is:
ayna anta? anaa fee alshaare3.
Using those prepositions and articles allows you to form complex phrases consisting of more than one verb. There is one common practice to be considered here nevertheless. In case a pronoun comes after a preposition or an article, the pronoun is replaced by its object pronoun. For example, if we want to translate the following phrase:
"I know that you study Arabic"
A valid, yet weak, translation would be:
a3refo [ anna anta ] tadreso al3arabeyyat> The rule here is to replace the pronoun by its object pronoun, that is:
anna anta= annaka the better translation then is:
a3refo annaka tadreso al3arabeyyat>

That is it with questions and prepositions, you are close to finish level 1!
