An explanation to forming questions in English in the present simple, present continuous and past simple with examples.

1. FORMING QUESTIONS
We have seen in the sections on presentsimple, present continuous and past
simple how we formsimple yes/no questions (and answers):
Presentand Past Simple:
Do you eat there every day? (Yes, I do/No, I don’t)
Does she alwaysstay at her parents’ house? (Yes, she does/No, she doesn’t)
Did they have enough money for food? (Yes, they did/No, they didn’t)
Did he speak to her? (Yes, they did/No, they didn’t)
The exception is the verb ‘be’ and modals:
Areyou happy with your job? (Yes, I am/No, I’m not)
Were they available for the meeting? (Yes, they were/No, they weren’t)
Can you speak to him for me? (Yes, I can/No, I can’t)
PresentContinuous:
Is she coming to the party? (Yes, she is/No, she isn’t)
Arewe having steak for dinner? (Yes, we are/No, we aren’t)
When we wantto know MOREINFORMATIONwehaveto use the question
questions words:
What
Where
When
Why
Which
Who
How
(How much/many/little, etc.)
To make ‘moreinformation’ questions, weput these words beforethe basic
yes/no question form(beforethe auxiliary):
Why do you eat there every day? (Because it hasgreatfood)
When did he speak to her? (Yesterday)
Whatare we having for dinner? (We are having steak)

2. Itis possibleto have more words with the question words:
What song are you going to sing tonight?
How much money does it cost to go to the match?
Where in England do you live?
This formwork for mostquestions. However, there are ‘subject’ questions
(mostly with ‘who’ and sometimes ‘which’) that are simply formed with the
question word in place of the subject. There is no auxiliary:
Who is the fastest person in the team?
Who ate all the pies?
Who is coming to the party?
Which bus goes to the city centre?
