Unit – 19

This is very important structure among all since you have to ask hundreds of questions in your normal life as we answer many questions when others ask.

There are two ways to ask questions:

1.     Questions starting with “Helping Verb” (H.V.)

2.     Questions starting with “Main Verb” (M.V.)

We have already seen the structure of questions starting with Helping Verb in the structures of Tenses.  But here is a common structure for convenience that changes according to the tense.

STRUCTURE – 19

Basic Structure:  H.V. + Sub. + M.V. + Obj.?

 

Important:

·        H.V. and M.V. will change according to the tense.  All the helping verbs of all the tenses are specifically given with the structures.

·        The answer of this structure may be given either in ‘yes’ or ‘no’ only or short responses (structure: 22) may be used in this case.

Exercise

Examples:

·         Do you like sweets?
