Final answer:
Inverting the word order to create a question involves placing the auxiliary verb before the subject, or adding 'do', 'does', or 'did' if no auxiliary is present.
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer the student's inquiry on how to create a question by inverting the word order in each statement, the process involves changing the order of the words so that the sentence becomes a grammatically correct question.
It often requires the placement of the auxiliary verb before the subject. If there's no auxiliary verb in the sentence, then 'do' or 'does' for simple present or 'did' for simple past can be used in its inversion.
For example, the statement 'You understand the task' can be inverted to become 'Do you understand the task?' Here, the addition of 'do' before the subject 'you' inverts the original statement into a question.
This process is fundamental in English grammar and helps students learn how to form questions correctly. When the statement already includes an auxiliary verb, such as in 'You are studying the topic', the question form is 'Are you studying the topic?' where the auxiliary verb 'are' is simply moved before the subject 'you'.
