When using Latex - documentclass{exam} how do I precede the question number with a word? (I would like the word question to be there)

Question

\documentclass{exam} 

\begin{document} 
\bf {This is easy enough}
\begin{questions}
\question What is the sum of 1 and 1
\end{questions}
\vspace{2cm}
But what I really want is :\\\\
Question 1. What is the sum of 1 and 1

\end{document}

Unrelated to your question, but you shouldn't use two letter font commands like \bf this millennium, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/516/does-it-matter-if-i-use-textit-or-it-bfseries-or-bf-etc — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Oct 27 '22 at 12:20

Thank you - I have much to learn - this time I learnt two things for the price of a single question.! – Gary Horan Oct 27 '22 at 12:35

@GaryHoran In Germany, we have a saying which goes along the lines of "All good things come in groups of three", so here is the third tiny bit to learn: Don't use \\ for linebreaks. They should only be used in tables and similar environment. Instead just leave an empty line in the source to start a new paragraph. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Oct 27 '22 at 12:40

See also \vspace, \smallsekip, \medskip and \bigskip. – John Kormylo Oct 27 '22 at 14:59
