Question Word Order Handout
a) When making a question people have to bear in mind that the verb to be in simple present tense and simple past tense is the exception to the rule. This means that no auxiliar is used when making a question. The use of a Wh-question word depends on what you are asking.
Am
Is
Are
Was
Were
+ Subject + ……………….
E.g. - Are you sad?
- Is Paul at home?
- What time is Paul at home?
- Were you here yesterday morning?
- Why were you here yesterday morning?
b) When making a question you have to bear in mind that an auxiliary or modal is used before the subject. The use of a Wh-question word depends on what you are asking.
Do
Does
Did
Have
Will
Can
Should
+ Subject + Verb + ………..
E. g. - Does she dance?
- Where does she dance?
- Can you draw this map?
- When can you draw this map?
However, if you are asking for the subject you cannot use it in the question.
E.g. Who works in this place?
Who took care of you after the earthquake?
c) Some common question words are:
What= qué, cuál what time= a qué hora
what... for= para qué what kind of= què tipo de
which=cuál who= quién
