What is a Question?
An interrogative sentence that seeks information or confirmation is called a question.
Two types of questions:
i) Yes/No type question: A question for which the expected answer is yes or no is called 'yes or no' type question. For example: Have you seen her before? Answer: Yes, I have seen her before. or No, I haven't seen her before. So, here the answer is either yes or no. Such questions are called yes or no type questions.
ii) WH questions: A question for which specific or detailed answer is expected is called WH question. For instance: When did you return home? Answer: I returned home yesterday. WH questions start with the letter either 'W' or 'H' and so they are called 'wh' questions.
The 'wh' words which are generally used to form 'wh' questions are as follows: What, Where, Why, When, Which, Who, Whom, How, How much, How many, How far and How long
Guidelines:
How to frame yes or no type question or 'wh' question?
(a) If the given answer in the exam starts with yes or no, you will have to frame yes or no type question, following the structure: "Aux.verb + subject + main verb+ key word?" (Remove key words such as yes, no, and not. Interchange the subject and verb. )
Example: (given sentence)
Yes, he is going to hostel.
Your answer: Is he going to hostel?
b) If the given sentence does not begin with "yes or no" or explains something, then you should frame a "wh" question following the structure: "wh-word"+ aux.verb+ subect+ main verb(optional)?
Don't forget:
* The key word or phrase in the given sentence should be removed.
* The main verb in the question should always be in the present form.
*The pronouns I and we should be changed into you, and "my" into "your".
* If the given sentence has aux.verb, same aux.verb should be used. If there is only a main verb, then you should use the aux.verb "do" or "does" in present tense and "did" in the past tense.
* If subject is the key word in the given sentence, then just remove the key word and apply "who" in that place.
