In general questions, the auxiliary verb (do, be, have, will) is placed before the subject, and the main verb follows the subject, i.e., the word order is:

auxiliary verb + subject + main verb (+ object + adverbial modifier)

Responses to general questions can be in the form of short "Yes" or "No" answers or in the form of full statements. (General questions are also called Yes / No questions or yes-no questions.)

Do you live here? Have the guests left already?

When the question is put to any part of the sentence, except the subject, the word order after the interrogative word (e.g., how, whom, what, when, where, why) is the same as in general questions:

Question word + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb (+ object + adverbial modifier)

The answer is usually given in full, but short responses are also possible.

How did you get there? Where are you from?
