Look at these examples to see how questions are made.
Is he a teacher?
How much does a train ticket cost?
To make questions, we often put the verb before the subject. This is called inversion.
Affirmative | Question |
I am late. | Am I late? |
I can help. | Can I help? |
She is sleeping. | Is she sleeping? |
We have met before. | Have we met before? |
If there is a question word (why, what, where, how, etc.), it goes before the verb.
Question | Question with question word |
Are you late? | Why are you late? |
Was she there? | When was she there? |
Can I help? | How can I help? |
Have we met before? | Where have we met before? |
This is true for sentences with be, sentences that have auxiliary verbs (e.g. They are waiting. She has finished.) and sentences with modal verbs (can, will, should, might, etc.).
For other verbs in the present simple, we use the auxiliary verb do/does in the question.
Affirmative | Question | Question with question word |
You work at home. | Do you work at home? | Where do you work? |
It costs £10. | Does it cost £10? | How much does it cost? |
We use the auxiliary verb did in the past simple.
Affirmative | Question | Question with question word |
She went home. | Did she go home? | Where did she go? |
They went to the cinema. | Did they go to the cinema? | Where did they go? |
In some questions, who or what is the subject of the verb. There is no inversion of subject and verb in these questions.
Who broke the window?
Who is knocking on the door?
