Questions & Answers about Wij komen samen naar het feest.

How would I turn this sentence into a yes/no question?
To ask a yes/no question in Dutch, you swap the subject (wij) and the verb (komen). So the question becomes: Komen wij samen naar het feest?
If I change wij to jij (you), how does the verb change for a question?
Normally, you say jij komt (you come). But in a question where jij or je comes right after the verb, you drop the -t. So if you asked a single person if they were coming to the party, it would be: Kom jij naar het feest?
Why do we use the preposition naar here instead of tot or aan?
When you are talking about moving or traveling toward a destination, like a party, a city, or a building, you almost always use naar.
Why does samen come before naar het feest?
In Dutch, words that describe 'how' an action happens (like samen, meaning together) usually come before words that describe 'where' it happens (naar het feest). This follows the general Dutch word order rule of 'Time, Manner, Place'.
