Making a query using a typed questions?

I have an assignment in school.

I need to do several operation on a huge family tree. Like, getting the
father of X, grand-mother of Y...

I don't have a problem with that part.

Here's what I don't get:

The user can only ask a question by asking a typed question. For
instance, I can't type "father(X,Mary)". Instead, I need to type "Who
is the father of Mary?" and then the anwser should appear.

There's 3 types of questions and they don't change, so I don't need a
complete parser. Also, I'm assuming if you know one, you can do the
other.

Thanks.

You need to introduce suitable operators.

Hi, I'm sorry I'm not that good in prolog. I don't know what "suitable
operators" are. Could you give me an example?

Try looking up "operator" in a Prolog manual.

I think his teacher wants him to write a small dcg which include some
kind of semantic parse in order to get the answer the same way we can
get a syntactic parse. For short wh question like this it's really
doable....
