Yes/No question Lesson

What are yes or no questions?

Those are closed-ended questions that can be answered by a simple yes or no.

For example:

Is she sleeping?

Short answer: Yes ( she is).

Long answer: Yes, she is sleeping.

Can they dance?

Short answer: Yes ( they can).

Long answer: Yes, they can dance.

Does she own a dog?

Short answer: Yes ( she does).

Long answer: Yes, she owns a dog.

Is he playing guitar?

Short answer: No ( he isn't).

Long answer: No, he is not playing guitar.

SO HOW DO WE FORM A YES OR NO QUESTION?

To form Yes/No questions, we use one of these verbs: auxiliary verbs ( be, do and have ) or modal verbs ( can, may,etc.) at the beginning of a sentence. Namely, subject and verb change their position in statement and question.
