python while statement with for loop

I am trying to iterate through a dictionary and get user response.

At the second to last question, I want to specifically declare that there is one more question left.

I am having trouble combining a while statement with for loop. This is my code:

# my dictionary

q_dict = {"where are we? " : "usa",
          "who are you? " : "jon",
          "how old are you? " : 22}

# my function 

def q_prompt(question, answer):

    response = input(question)

    if response != answer:

        print("incorrect")

    else:

        print("correct!")


# having trouble here with this logic combining for loop and while     

run = 1

for key, val in q_dict.items():
    
    q_prompt(key, val)
    

    while run < (len(q_dict)-1):
        print("on to the next question")
        run += 1

    else:
        print("on to the last question")  # i would like this to print when there is one more question left  

    print("no more questions")

after the user responds to "who are you", I want the program to say "on to the last question". then when the program is done (after user answers the last question", it says "no more questions". I am having trouble iterating through each question and increasing the value of 'run'. Running this code does not get the desired result.

I'm not sure why you'd want to use a while loop here. Why not just have an if-statement like so:

q_dict = {"where are we? " : "usa",
          "who are you? " : "jon",
          "how old are you? " : 22}

for key, val in q_dict.items():
    
    q_prompt(key, val)
    

    if key != list(q_dict.keys())[-2]:
        print("on to the next question")

    else:
        print("on to the last question")  # i would like this to print when there is one more question left  

print("no more questions")

Note, I've also un-indented your final print statement since otherwise it will execute on every iteration.
