I've found this to be generally the case, though I often see odd
constructions like:
"What option do you have to enter to [...]"
Instead of:
"Which option is used to [...]"
I've just been reviewing a skills assessment written in English by a
native German speaker, and this type of construction is very common in
German apparently.
Grammatically it's correct, of course, but it's also awkward.
