"- Correct: 'Where are you going?'"
"- Incorrect: 'What time the match will begin?'"
"- Correct: 'What time will the match begin?'"

"Quick learning tip:"

"When forming questions, remember that the subject and verb often swap places. If you’re using a question word, make sure it’s at the start of the question, followed by the auxiliary verb and subject."
