Making questions

When making questions in English you have three options: 

1. there is one verb in the sentence and this is not a form of 'to be' 
2. there is one verb in the sentence and this is a form of 'to be' 
3. there is more than one verb in the sentence 

Making questions

1. there is one verb in the sentence and this is not a form of 'to be'

sentences in simple present 

• I walk to school.                
• - Do I walk to school?
• She walks to school.         
• - Does she walk to school? 

Making questions

1. there is one verb in the sentence and this is not a form of 'to be'

sentences in simple past  

• You walked to school.     
• - Did you walk to school? 
• He walked to school.       
• - Did he walk to school? 

Making questions

2. there is one verb in the sentence and this is a form of 'to be' 

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

Making questions

3, 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. 
• You have been complainig all day.     
• - Have you been complaining...? 
• They are talking to each other.           
• - Are they talking to each other? 
• She will be late!                                     
• - Will she be late? 

Making questions

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 add 'do/does/did': 

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

subject?

onderwerp

Making questions

Let's practise.

Make questions using the wh-words given. 

Frank is sitting next to Clara. (Who...?)

The boy comes from Newcastle. (Where...?)

Peter's birthday is in April. (When...?)

I'm going to my friends. (Where...?)

I'm going to order Fish and Chips. (What...?)

Her children are five and seven. (How...?)
