Just like you need to prompt an LLM, you need to ask your brain the right questions in order to come to the right answer. Formulating a good question is a skill in itself.
A What question determines the key factors or components of something. A Why question digs deeper to explain phenomena or the root causes of something. And a How question yields a practical way, process or technique to implement or apply something. Like a fishing net, for catching a specific species of fish, a question can be broad or narrow to catch the right answer our outcomes. The shape and form of a question determines the direction of the inquiry.
So what are the basic building blocks of a question. They are made of letters, words, verbs, adjectives, conjunctions etc. The main components are what we call the key concepts. These are the main topics or subject matter one needs to become a master of.
