HOW TO USE QUESTION WORDS

1. Use Helping Verbs


(Do/Does/Did/Am/Is/Are/Was/Were/Have/Has/Will
, etc.)
A. Present Simple
• Use do or does + base verb
• You eat pizza. → Do you eat pizza?
• She likes dogs. → Does she like dogs?

B. Past Simple
• Use did + base verb
• He watched a movie. → Did he watch a movie?

C. Present Continuous
• Use am/is/are + verb+ing
• She is reading. → Is she reading?

D. Past Continuous
• Use was/were + verb+ing
• They were running. → Were they running?

E. Present Perfect
• Use have/has + past participle
• You have finished. → Have you finished?

F. Future (will)
• Use will + base verb
• She will travel. → Will she travel?
2. Start with a Wh-question word (if needed):
• Who, What, Where, When, Why, How

Examples:
• Where do you live?
• Why is she crying?
• What did he say?

3. Yes/No Questions start with the helping verb:


• Are you hungry?
• Does he play football?
• Did they call you?

Quick Formula:
(Wh-word) + helping verb + subject + main verb?

Example:
• What + do + you + want? → What do you want?

PRACTICE

Change these into questions:


1. She plays the piano.
2. They went to the park.
3. He is watching TV.
4. You have finished your homework.
5. They will travel next week.
And now try with Wh- question words:
6. He eats lunch at 1 p.m. → (What time…)
7. She lives in London. → (Where…)
8. They are going to the museum. → (Where…)
9. He studies because he wants to pass. → (Why…)
10. She is talking to her friend. → (Who…)
