Asking for Information
To get specific information, we use different question words like 'who,' 'what,' 'where,' 'when,' 'why,' 'how,' and 'which.' We also use 'yes/no' questions that usually start with 'is,' 'are,' 'do,' 'does,' 'did,' or modal verbs like 'can.' These questions help us confirm or deny something.
