What to Focus On

  • A statement tells something.
  • A question asks something.
  • We change the word order to make a question.

  • Find the helping verb in the statement.
  • Move the helping verb to the front.
  • Keep the rest of the sentence the same.

  • Helping verbs support the main verb.
  • 'Is', 'are', 'was', 'were', and 'will' are common helping verbs.
  • In questions, helping verbs come before the subject.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

To make a question, just add 'Is' or 'Are' at the end of a sentence.

All questions must start with 'What', 'Where', or 'When'.

We can form a question by just changing the punctuation from '.' to '?' without changing the word order.

Memory Tips

Changing statement to question by moving helping verb to front

Word order change: Subject-Verb inversion in questions

Helping verbs used in questions: is, am, are, was, were, will, has, have, etc.

Yes/No questions start with helping verbs
