Summary Grammar: Be ( Questions)

Be (Questions)

There are two kinds of questions:

1. A Yes/No question: A question that may be answered by yes or no.

For example:

Is he happy?

Yes, he is. / No, he isn’t.

• When asking a question with be, the verb be comes before the subject (who or what the sentence is about).

For example: Are you a flower? Is she fine?

2. A Wh- question: A question that asks for information by using a question word.

For example:

Where is it?

The rabbit is in the hat.

• The question word always comes before the verb be (am, is, are).
  Wh- questions start with: What? Who? Where? When? Why? How?

For example: What is it? What are they?

Where am I? Where are you?
Why am I here? Why isn’t she happy?
When is it? When isn’t Moby hungry?
How are you? How is Ben?

• When the question word is who, who is the subject.

For example: Who is tall?

Who is he?

• Question Mark (?)

All questions end with a question mark (?).

For example: Moby, where are you?
