MAKING QUESTIONS
One of the most important things to make a good question is to use the correct tense:
• I've told him something. >>> What have you told him?
• We're going somewhere. >>> Where are you going?
• I caught the morning bus. >>> What did you catch?
Subject / object questions
I called somebody. >>> Who did you call?
– this is an object question. We need to ask about the object.
Somebody called me. >>> Who called you?
– this is a subject question. We ask about the subject.
– don't use DO / DID in subject questions!!!
Prepositions
What are you talking about?
Where was she from?
– prepositions come after the verb!
Question words
what, how, where, who, etc…
don't forget about WHOSE
• Whose car is it? >>>> It's mine.
This question is not a question
Do you know where she lives?
- "Do you know” is the question, "where she lives” is just a clause
Do you remember where she was from?
DON'T SAY: Do you remember where was she from?
