Why Do We Ask Questions?

Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek, and you're not sure where your friend is hiding. You might say, 'Are you behind the couch?' That's a question, it helps you find out more about the world around you. People ask questions all the time because they want to know what’s going on, why things happen, or how to solve problems. It’s like having a special tool that helps us explore and learn.
