Yes/No Questions in EnglishVersión en línea
por Infant Rashmi
1
In forming a yes-no question in the simple present, you use do/does before the subject.
2
In the sentence 'Are you coming?', the verb 'coming' is the auxiliary.
3
For sentences that already have an auxiliary, you invert the auxiliary and the subject to form a yes-no question.
4
In a yes-no question, the auxiliary verb usually precedes the subject.
5
Wh- questions use the same inversion principle as yes-no questions, respecting the auxiliary before the subject.
6
Yes-no questions can be formed by adding 'do' at the end of the sentence.
7
For all verbs forming a past tense yes-no question, you simply keep the main verb in its past form after 'did'.
8
In the present simple with the verb 'be', inversion occurs: 'Are you coming?'
9
In English you always place the subject before the auxiliary in yes-no questions.
