Abstract The role of the SKA in high resolution observations of the formation of low and high mass stars in the Galaxy is examined. The large collecting area will have a large impact on dynamical studies at high resolution using spectral lines. The SKA will allow dramatic progress in the investigation of the ionised, atomic and molecular phases over a range of evolutionary stages. Attention is focused here on the potential of radio recombination lines, the H I 21 cm line and molecular Zeeman measurements. This combination will unveil the physical processes that drive jets and winds from young stars. Other important areas such as pre-biotic molecules, disc ablation in OB clusters and massive star formation in nearby galaxies are also briefly discussed.
