- 3. Let’s start withsimple greetings. In English we say “Good Morning”, “Good Afternoon”, “Good Evening” when we greet people and “Goodbye” when we leave - but remember that “Goodnight” means that you are saying goodbye to someone at night. It´s not the same as “Buenas Noches” in Spanish. We have lots of ways of greeting each other – but the most common is simply: Good morning Good afternoon how are you? Good evening I´m fine, thanks – and you? Fine, thanks

- 11. So what arethe rules for asking simple questions? Let’s have a look! First we need to know if we are asking a question about the SUBJECT of the answer or the OBJECT of the answer. Example: So if we are asking a question about the subject (Peter) we need to ask a “WHO” question – but if we want to ask about the object (London) we need to ask a “WHERE” question. Second we need to understand the structure of the two questions – because they are different. Peter lives In London Subject Verb Object
- 12. V Let’s lookat the structures. First the subject question. Peter lives In London Subject Verb Object Who lives In London? Peter Where does Peter live? In London Now the object question Peter lives In London Subject Verb Object Very different - so what are the rules? Let’s look at the actual question words.
- 13. Question Words We normallyuse question words for: people Jobs things animals actions place quantity reasonmannertime Who Whose Which (one of) What Which (one of) Where When How long What time How often How much How many How Why
- 14. Subject / Objectquestions 1. Notice that they all have an auxilliary / modal verb in the structure and the same auxilliary is used to make the questions for both the subject and the object. This is a rule. Peter is a doctor. Who is a doctor? Peter. What is Peter? A doctor John can fly a helicopter. Who can fly a helicopter? John. What can John fly? A helicopter. Mary has (got) a dog. Who has (got) a dog? Mary What has Mary got? A dog. Look at these models BUT When we ask a question about a structure that does not have an auxilliary verb in it – we have to use the auxilliary verb “do”. Maria lives in Madrid. Who lives in Madrid . Maria Where does Maria live. Madrid Brian drives a Porche. Who drives a Porche? Brian. What does Brian drive? A Porche. Notice that we do not need an auxilliary / modal verb to make a question for the subjects Maria / Brian BUT we had to use one to make the question for the object Madrid / Porche This is another a rule.
- 15. Let’s go backto the original structure. Peter lives In London Subject Verb Object Who lives In London? Peter No auxiliary needed to make the subject question – just the question word – Who? Note: The word order stays the same (Question word + verb + object) = subject Peter lives In London Subject Verb Object Where does Peter live? In London We had to use the question word “Where” plus the auxiliary “do” (3rd Person “does”) to make the object question. The word order is different. Question word + auxiliary + subject + verb = object
- 16. Subject verb Object Helenhates coffee Vicky is English Mark can cook Jenny is going to go to London John went to Madrid Subject / Object Questions Remember – we do not need an auxiliary / modal verb to ask a question about the subject of the sentence. All we need is the question word – in this case “WHO” Who hates coffee? Helen. Who went to Madrid? Mark BUT it is necessary to use an auxiliary / modal verb when we ask a question about the object So - if the answer is 1. coffee 2. English 3. cook 4. to London 5. to Madrid What is the question? Look at the table. Question word Aux Subject Verb Answer Object What does Helen hate? Coffee What nationality is Vicky? English What can Mark do? Cook Where is Jenny going to go? To London Where did John go? To Madrid Notice another rule? All the verbs are in the infinitive and “do” became “does” and “did”
