In my text book I have a sentence I’m glad I came across. I’m not sure if Iv
translated it correctly but if I have I’m happy I found this!
「いつ誰と来て何を食べたか覚えてない」 Does this mean “when and who I came with and what we ate,
I can’t remember” If you put いつ誰と来ましたか would this mean when and who did you
come with? Thank you!

question
grammar meaning translation
Putting words like who and where together
The words aren't actually combined. Instead, all that's happened is that the
question words are put where their answers would normally be. For example, if
I did suddenly remember that yesterday I came and ate pizza with Satomi, then
I could say

昨日さとみさんと来てピザを食べた。

It's the same sentence structure, but instead of question words like いつ and 誰
it has concrete answers. In particular, there's no particle after 昨日 so it
does "run on" into the next word.
