Lesson Contents
Forming questions
Questions are formed by placing the auxiliary in front of the subject. A question without a question word is called a closed question :
Do you like pizza?
Open questions use question words:
When did you see Tom?
If your question is in the PRESENT SIMPLE or the PAST SIMPLE, and it uses the verb TO BE, we replace DO/DOES/DID with the correct form of TO BE:
Why are you so happy?
(not “Why do you are so happy?”)
When were you on holiday?
(not “When did you were on holiday.”)
Complete the questions below by selecting the correct question word.
