Unit 12: Da- Compounds

5. Wo- Words

In addition to the question words you learned about in Unit 1, more complex question words exist that follow the same approach as da– compounds. By prefixing any preposition with wo– or wor-, a “what?” (German was?) question is posed.

Womit schreiben Sie?
With what are you writing?

Worauf stehen Sie?
On what are you standing?
