Syntax of questions
Hello everyone, I am new in this site. I have started learning Spanish and so far the biiggest problem I had is with the syntax of the questions. i don't get the sequence of words in a question. like in some questions it is like English, wh word+verb+everything else. but in some questions it is like Wh word+something+verb. what is the rule?

I don't think that the link deals with word order in questions.
There are two types of questions. Yes/no questions, and Information questions.
(yes/no) questions. You may do these in the following manner.
(a) Use the same word order as in a statement but raise your voice at the end.
¿Pedro habla japonés? or you can start with the verb. ¿Habla japonés Pedro?
Information questions
Start with+ a question word. "qué, cómo, por qué , dónde, a dónde, cuánto/a/s + noun" (I may have missed one or two 
) Then follow with the proper verb.
Ex. ¿Por qué no viene Pedro? (Why isn't Pedro coming?)
¿Dónde vive Elena? (Where does Elena live?)
¿Cuántos amigos tienes en Facebook? (How many friends do you have on Facebook?
What I have given here is just the beginning. For a more complete answer, with more examples go to the link below and "Buena suerte."
