Hello,
I heard a similar sentence some minutes ago.

How much I must pay for this holiday?
Is this really right?
In my opinion, it has to be:
How much must I pay for this holiday?

I mean there are plenty of other sentences which use this structure:
How much does a game cost?
How much do I need?

(Not the exact same structure, but a similar.)

Cheers!

Is this really right? No, it's not correct.
In my opinion, it has to be:
How much must I pay for this holiday? :tick: This is the correct grammar for asking a question.
