How to Create Simple Yes/No Questions and WH-Questions

Making easy questions is an important part of learning English. In this article, we will look at how to make yes/no questions and WH-questions. We will also cover some key grammar rules.

1. Yes/No Questions

How to Make Them

Yes/no questions are made by switching the subject and the verb. Here's how:

• With the verb ‘to be’:

  • Example: She is happy. → Is she happy?

• With the verb ‘to have’:

  • Example: They have a dog. → Do they have a dog?

• With regular verbs:

  • Example: He plays football. → Does he play football?

Matching Subjects and Verbs

Make sure the subject and verb match:

• Singular: She plays.
• Plural: They play.

2. WH-Questions

WH-questions ask for specific information. They start with WH-words like who, what, where, when, and why.

How to Make Them
