Issues using input with Tkinter - Python

Question

I'm having some trouble with my code. And can't seem to figure out a solution to my issue.

I'm adding Tkinter to a piece of code I made and can't seem to find a way to recreate using inputs.

I've used inputs to store answers from a user as such:

answer1 = input('Put your first answer here: ')
answer2 = input('Put your second answer here: ')
answer3 = input('Put your third answer here: ')          
answer1 = answer1.lower()
answer2 = answer2.lower()
answer3 = answer3.lower()

Now I need to use a Tkinter entry to recreate it but i can't figure it out. I've tried buttons to read the text, store it and then clear the entry but i couldn't get it to increment as I wanted. But I've hit a roadblock and would appreciate some help.

Many thanks in advance.

Full code:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *



import sqlite3
def readquestions(questionnumber):
    with sqlite3.connect("Coursework database.db") as db:
        cursor = db.cursor()

        cursor.execute("SELECT * From Questions WHERE QuestionID = ?",
                       (str(questionnumber)))

        global questiontext
        rows = cursor.fetchall()
        customername1 = ''
        for row in rows:  
            print(str(row[1]))
            questiontext = str(row[1])
        return questiontext

That was a lot of code. Please provide a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example.

I did however notice one thing that usually breaks a GUI: you have created two instances of Tk, once in GUIcolourwindows() and once in GUIwindow(colour). See Why are multiple instances of Tk discouraged?
