You did this on Day 2 — これはすしですか. Here’s why it works. English asks a yes/no question by flipping the sentence: “you are a student” → “are you a student?” Japanese moves nothing. You tag か onto the end and the statement becomes a question: 学生です → 学生ですか. Same words, same order, just か (and a rising tone).
