Question making in French

Si j'écris “ pourquoi il a soif ?”

Correct ou incorrect

Hi Supriya, 

Pourquoi il a soif ?  

is very informal and it isn't something you would write, except if you were writing informal dialogue in a story.

 'Pourquoi est-ce qu'il a soif ?

is still informal and the best-written question would be -

Pourquoi a-t-il soif ?

Here is the relevant Kwiziq lesson -

Bonne Continuation!

Yes, that looks OK.
