Need help with query

[zzz]

I have 2 tables that store entries by members and it has the following fields:

table1

t1_id
project_ID
member_ID
question

table2

t2_id
project_ref
reply_id
answer

So I loop through table1 and output all questions WHERE member_ID = 555

What I need is to add to the same query, where I join the two tables and while I output the questions I also count how many answers stored in table2 for each question. By the way

 table1.project_ID == table2.project_ref 

My brain is making empty loops at the moment... Need help writing this query.

SELECT t1.id, COUNT(t2.id)
FROM t1
LEFT JOIN t2
ON t1.pid = t2.pref
WHERE t1.mid = 555
GROUP BY t1.id
