1. We ask questions for confirmation and information. There are two types of questions: yes/no questions and Wh questions. 2. To form a question sentence, the auxiliary verb comes before the subject. For a yes/no question the format is: Auxiliary verb + Subject + verb + object?. For a Wh question the format is: Wh word + auxiliary verb + subject + verb?. 3. There are four types of auxiliary verbs: be, have, do, and modal verbs. Wh words like what, where, when, why, who, which, and how are used to ask for specific information in Wh questions.

2. Asking Question

3. Why do we ask question?

4. We ask questions for
confirmation and
information
1.Yes/No questions
2.Wh questions
• For Confirmation we use yes/no
question , for example: Do you like
music?
• For information we use Wh questions,
for examples: What do you like ?
There are two
types of
questions

5. Formation of question sentence
• the basic thing to know about making question is , the auxiliary
verb of the question sentence comes before the subject.
• Yes/No question : Auxiliary verb+ Subject+ verb + object?
• Wh question : Wh words+ auxiliary verb+ subject+ verb?

6. Process of Making Questions
• We have to know two grammar items before going into the process of making questions. Auxiliary
verbs and Wh words with their functions.
• Auxiliary verbs:
• There are four types of auxiliary verbs:
1. To be: am, is ,are, was, were, be, being, been
2. To have: have, has, had
3. To do: do did, does
4. Modals ( we also call it others auxiliary verbs): can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would,
must etc.

7. Ways to use auxiliary verbs in question
sentence.
• Above mentioned verbs are helping verbs which are visible with the main verbs but only ‘to do’
verbs are invisible auxiliary that are hidden within the action verbs.
• For example:
• Drink is an action verb which consists (drink+ do), if I say, ‘drinks’ (it will
be ‘(drink+ does), If I say drank, it will be (drink+ did)
• And secondly, we have to know the wh words and their functions

8. Wh words and their functions
• We use What for specific thing or object
• Where is used for location or place
• When is used for date and time.
• Why for knowing about reason
• Who to know about people or person.
• Which is used for giving any options or choices.
• How is used to know about any reason of the action.
• How old, how many and how much also can be used to ask about age, number and quantity
respectively.

9. Let’s make some wh questions from sentences.
• She lives in a flat.
• I want to ask her about her place of living .
• So the question will be: Where does she live?
• So in this sentence we can see ‘lives’ has been broken into ‘live +
does’

10. • He is doing his homework.
• The question will be
• What is he doing?
• In this sentence we don’t need any ‘to do’ auxiliary verbs
because there is a ‘to be’ verb already in this sentence.
• Like this if we say
• They have completed their work recently.
• When have they completed their work?

11. And yes/ no question , it is very simple
• We just have to put the auxiliary before the subject.
• For example
• He is a student.
• Is he a student?
• He has done the work.
• Has he done the work?
