1.8. Types of questions.
There are four different types of questions.
General (Yes / No) questions. These questions begin with an auxiliary verb (is, are, have, has, do, does, did, etc) and then the subject. We usually answer these questions Yes / No. |
|
E.g. Ann is always late for work. They play football at the weekends. |
Is Ann always late for work? Do they play football at the weekends? |
Special questions begin with special words: people (who, whose), things (what, which), place (where), time (when, how long, how often), quantity, number (how much, how many), manner (how), reason (why), age (how old). Special word + general question |
|
E.g. Ann is always late for work. They play football at the weekends. |
Why is Ann always late for work? When do they play football? |
Alternative questions ask about something else with the help of or. General question + or + alternative |
|
E.g. Ann is always late for work. They play football at the weekends. |
Is Ann always late for work or home? Do they play football at the weekends or every day? |
Questions tags are short questions at the end of a statement. We use them when we want to confirm something or to find out if something is true or false. If the statement is positive, the tag is negative. |
|
E.g. Ann is always late for work. They play football at the weekends. |
Ann is always late for work, isn’t she? They play football at the weekends, don’t they? |
If the statement is negative, the tag is positive. |
|
E.g. Ann isn’t always late for work. They don’t play football at the weekends. |
Ann isn’t always late for work, is she? They don’t play football at the weekends, do they? |

Subject questions Are the questions we ask when we want to find out who or what did something, when we want to know the subject. We begin with Who or What and the verb is in the affirmative form. We do not use the auxiliary verbs Do, Does, Did, etc. |
Object questions Are the questions we ask when we want to know the object. These questions usually begin with the word Who or What. And the verb is in the interrogative form. |
E.g. Ann (subject, who) loves Tom. Who loves Tom? We want to know the subject, so the verb is in the affirmative form. |
E.g. Ann loves Tom. (object, who). Who does Ann love? We want to know the object, so the verb is in the interrogative form. |
