water under the bridge

  we have 2 kinds of questions

    Yes-No Questions

*we need an 'auxiliary verb' such as do, did, has, have..

   Wh- Questions

*we need a 'question word' such as what, when, who, why, how, how often..... 

Making yes-no questions

 Use the apporiate auxiliary verb

• sentences in simple present 
• Yes, I walk to school.                       - Do you walk to school?
• No, she doesn'twalk to school.      - Does she walk to school? 
• sentences in simple past  
• Yes, I walked to school.                  - Did you walk to school? 
• No, he didn't walked to school.    - Did he walk to school? 

Making yes-no questions 2

Sometimes, there is more than one verb in the sentence  

• make a question by putting the first verb at the beginning of the sentence. The rest of the sentence stays the same. 
• Yes, I have been complaining all day.         - Have you been complaining...? 
• No, they aren't talking to each other.          - Are they talking to each other? 
• Yes, she will be late!                                       - Will she be late? 

!!! Making questions  with the verb 'to be'

• make a question by putting the form of 'to be' at the beginning of the sentence
• I am a doctor.      - Am I a doctor?
• She was late.         - Was she late? 
• You are nice.         - Are you nice? 

Making questions using question words

You also have to know how to make questions using wh-words. 

• who
• where
• when
• why
• whose 
• what
  
• how (many) 

Making questions

For most wh-questions the same rules for making questions apply, you simply add the wh-word at the beginning of the sentence: 

• What did they do to make you mad? 
• Where have you been all afternoon? 
• How do you feel? 
• When did you get home? 
• Who do you like most? 

Making questions

However, when 'who' or 'what' is the subject of the sentence, you do not need to add 'do/does/did': 

• What happened to her? 
• Who knows the answer? 

subject?
