Questions & Answers about พรุ่งนี้ ครู มา ไหม ครับ
Why is พรุ่งนี้ (tomorrow) at the very beginning of the sentence?
In Thai, time words like พรุ่งนี้ (tomorrow) are very flexible. They are often placed at the absolute beginning of a sentence to set the scene right away. You could also put it after the verb (ครูมาพรุ่งนี้ไหมครับ), but putting it first is very common and natural.
How does the word ไหม work to ask a question here?
ไหม is a question particle that turns a normal statement into a "Yes/No" question. In English, you have to rearrange the words ("The teacher is coming" becomes "Is the teacher coming?"). In Thai, you just take the statement ครูมา (the teacher comes) and stick ไหม at the end.
How do I answer "Yes" to this specific question?
How would I say "No" in response to this sentence?
To answer "No", you put the negative word ไม่ (not) right before the main verb. Since the verb is มา, the answer is ไม่มา (not come). A polite negative reply would be ไม่มาครับ or ไม่มาค่ะ.
