Sentences - Making questions
A question has a different sentence structure than a normal (affirmative) sentence. Basically: when there's a helping verb (to do/to be/to have/can/could/may/might/must/will/shall), you put the helping word at the start of the sentence (She is very nice. > Is she very nice?). If there isn't a helping verb, you use do/does/did (does with he/she/it in present tense, do with others, did for past tense). For example: She liked history. > Did she like history? Question words like Who/What/When/Why/How Always come at the front of a sentence> Why did she like history?
Below, you'll find out how to know more about this and you'll get some practice.
