Great job, kids! Today you learned How to Make Interrogative Sentences. You know that questions can be Yes/No or WH questions. You learned to use do/does/did for simple tenses, am/is/are/was/were for continuous tenses, and will/can/should for modals. You also practiced converting positive to interrogative, making longer questions step by step, and using phrasal verbs.
Remember:
- Put the auxiliary verb before the subject to make a question.
- Use WH words before the auxiliary for information questions.
- End every question with a question mark (?).
