How do we make Yes/No questions?
To make a Yes/No question, we put the be verb first. This is for questions that can be answered with just Yes или No.
Структура выглядит следующим образом:
- Be verb + Subject + Verb-ing...?
Look at these examples:
- Am I talking too fast?
- Are you learning English?
- Is he working right now?
- Is she wearing a blue shirt?
- Is it raining outside?
- Are we going home soon?
- Are they watching TV?
You can give short answers:
- Yes, I am. / No, I'm not.
- Yes, you are. / No, you aren't.
- Yes, he is. / No, he isn't.
How do we make Wh- questions?
For more information, we add a Wh- word before the be verb. Wh- words include What, Where, Why, Who, и How.
Структура выглядит следующим образом:
