Basic Question Structure
The basic structure of a question in English is very simple:
auxiliary verb + subject + main verb
| auxiliary verb |
subject |
main verb |
|
| Do |
you |
like |
Mary? |
| Are |
they |
playing |
football? |
| Will |
Anthony |
go |
to Tokyo? |
| Have |
you |
seen |
ET? |
Exception!
For the verb be in simple present and simple past, we do not
use an auxiliary verb. We simply reverse the positions of be
and subject:
| Statement: |
He |
is |
German. |
| Question: |
Is |
he |
German? |
