Questions and question forms
Angleščina · 9. razred
Hello, Grade 9 students! Asking questions is very important for good communication in English. Let's learn how to make different types of questions correctly.
Ključni pojmi
- Auxiliary Verb
- A verb used to help the main verb (e.g., do, does, did, can, will).
- Wh- words
- Words that start questions asking for specific information (e.g., what, where, when).
- Tag Question
- A short question added to the end of a statement.
- Subject
- The person or thing performing the action in a sentence.
- Pronoun
- A word that replaces a noun (e.g., he, she, it, they).
Yes/No Questions
These questions can only be answered with 'yes' or 'no'. They usually start with an auxiliary verb or a form of 'to be'. For 'to be' verbs, move it to the beginning. For most other verbs in present/past simple, use 'do', 'does', or 'did'.
- Answered with 'yes' or 'no'.
- Start with auxiliary verb or 'to be'.
- Structure: Auxiliary Verb / To Be + Subject + Main Verb + Rest?
Wh- Questions
These questions ask for specific information and begin with 'Wh-' words like 'what', 'where', 'when', 'why', 'who', 'how', 'whom', 'whose'. When 'who' or 'what' is the subject, don't use 'do/does/did'.
- Ask for specific information.
- Start with 'Wh-' words.
- Structure: Wh- word + Auxiliary Verb / To Be + Subject + Main Verb + Rest?
Tag Questions
Tag questions are short questions added to the end of a statement to confirm information or invite agreement. If the statement is positive, the tag is negative, and vice versa. Always use a pronoun in the tag.
- Added to end of a statement.
- Used to confirm information or invite agreement.
- If statement is positive, tag is negative (and vice versa).
Zanimivosti
- When 'who' or 'what' is the subject, we don't use 'do/does/did'.
- For 'to be' verbs, you just move 'to be' to the beginning for Yes/No questions.
