Yes/ No questions:we use the helping verbs Do or Does to ask yes/ noquestions. We put them before the subject.Do/ Does+ subject+ base verb?Remember! Do not add -s or -es to the verb.
Do+I/you/we/they+base verb?Ex: Do you love me?Do they practice tennis everyday? Does+he/she/it+base verb?Ex: Does it cost a lot of money? Does he study everyday?!We do not use do or does with the verb be.Ex: Am I late?
Wh questions:We use these words to askwhquestions:-Which-Who -When-What -Why-Where -How
Wh non-subject questions:We usually put theWhquestion before thehelping verbs.Wh+do/does+subject+base verb?
Wh+do/does+base verb?Ex: The sun rises in the east.Wheredoes the sun rise?Ex: I drink tea without sugar.How do you drink tea? Remember! Do not add -s or -es to the verb
Wh subject questions:To ask subject questionswe use the Wh question words: what and whoinstead of the subject.
After the Wh question words, who or what, the verb will be in it’s singular form.
For example:What looks dangerous?Bungee-jumping looks dangerous.Whois at school? The pupils are at school.
Don’t forget!!!We can also ask questions in the Present Simple to get general information about something.Ex:How much does a ticket to Disneyland cost?
