1. Why you didn't drink the water? or Why didn't you drink the water?

Hi,

In English to create questions we use te auxiliary verb before the subject. Thus we have:

Do you speak English?
Don't you know this song?
Are you feeling good?
Why didn't you call me last night? (question)
I didn't call you because I was busy. (Affirmative)

Yes the correct way of asking the question is:
Why didn't you drink the water?

But if you phrase it differently, as a statement instead of a question:
I don't understand why you didn't drink the water.

Um it's confusing, sorry.
