• They usually start with a question word that begins with the letters “wh” or "How" Sometimes they’re also called “open questions.” That’s because there are many more possible answers than just yes/no. • Question words: - What: Use “what” if you want information about an object or thing. - Which: This is very similar to “what,” but generally use “which” if there are specific or limited options to choose from. - When: Use “when” if you want information about a time or date. - Where: Use “where” if you want information about a place or location. - Who: Use “who” if you want information about a person. - Why: Use “why” if you want information about a reason or explanation for something. - How: Use “how” if you want information about the way or technique to do something. - How much: Use “how much” if you want information about quantities of nouns that aren’t countable (like sugar, water, money, etc.). - How many: Use “how many” if you want information about quantities of things are countable (like people, bottles of water, dollars, etc.). - How often: Use “how often” if you want information about the frequency of an event.• BASIC STRUCTURE [“Wh-” Question Word/Phrase] + [Auxiliary Verb] + [Subject] + [Main Verb] + [Object or Other Information] + ?

Wh- & How questions

OR Questions (Choice Questions)

• They offer a choice of several options as an answer .• They are made up of two parts, which are connected by the conjunction or.• They can be either general, open-ended questions or more specific ones. If the question does not centre on the subject of the sentence, a complete answer is needed. For example: - Does she like ice cream or sweets? – She likes ice cream. - Where would you go, to the cinema or the theatre? – I would go to the cinema. - Is he a teacher or a student? – He is a student.• When the question concerns the subject, the auxiliary verb comes before the second option. The answer is short: Does she make it or do you? – She does. Did they buy that house or did she? – They did.

Subject questions

1. The object of a sentence is the person or thing that is acted upon, or receives the action: e.g. We want some fruit juice. Karen likes Fred.2. In Object Questions, you want to know WHAT someone did or WHO they did it to. e.g. Jo ate ??? What did Jo eat?3. They need an auxiliary verb (do, be, have ...) before the subject, and a main verb (do, doing, done ...) after it. e.g. Who were you talking to yesterday? (answer: I was talking to my boss)

Object questions

Vs

1. The subject of a sentence is the person or thing that performs the action: e.g. The earthquake damaged my house.2. In Subject Questions you want to know WHO / WHAT does something. e.g. ??? ate my chocolates? Who ate my chocolates?3. To make them, you just use WHO or WHAT instead of the subject of the sentence. e.g. Who's meeting you at the station? (answer: My sister is meeting me)

Yes / No Questions

• This type of question is usually the easiest to ask and answer in English. • They’re called “yes/no questions” because the answer to these questions is generally “yes” or “no.” • BASIC STRUCTURE [Auxiliary Verb] + [Subject] + [Main Verb] + [Object or Other Information] + ... ?
