You're so funny!
I think by 'proper', you mean normal, don't you? No, I mean proper basic question grammar. ESLs have to learn all the ways we ask questions. That's why they ask these questions here. We can even ask question with statements.

We can even ask questions with normally positive words.
Really?
There are many ways to ask questions and not all rely on "question grammar". No one said using "question grammar" is the only way to ask a question, but it is the basic way, especially in written English.
