Grammar Focus Questions



We usually make questions by changing the Word order: we putt the first auxiliary verb before the subject.


S     +     AV

Tom will...                                                                                                                                  You have walked...                                                                                                                   I can sing...                                                                                                                             The house was...                    

AV      +  S                                                

will Tom...?                                                                                                                         Have you walked...?                                                                                                             Can I sing...?                                                                                                                         Was the house...?                                                                                                                                                     

tom be here tomorrow?                                                      
What can I do?                                     
When was the house built?

In present simple questions, we use do / does


                     You live in Cali                      Do you live in Cali?                  

              John studies English                Does john studies English?

In past simple questions we use did

Max sold his card … Did max sell his car?

But do not use do/ did in questions if who, What, which is the subject of the sentence.
   
Who subject

 Emma telephoned somebody

   Who subject
   Who telephoned Emma?

 Question words

How          where         whose
