We make questions by:
1: moving an auxiliary to the front of the clause:
| Everybody is watching | >> | Is everybody watching? | 
| They had worked hard | >> | Had they worked hard? | 
| He's finished work | >> | Has he finished work? | 
| Everybody had been working hard | >> | Had everybody been working hard? | 
| He has been singing | >> | Has he been singing? | 
| English is spoken all over the world | >> | Is English spoken all over the world? | 
| The windows have been cleaned | >> | Have the windows been cleaned? | 
2: … or by moving a modal to the front of the clause:
| They will come | >> | Will they come? | 
| He might come | >> | Might he come? | 
| They will have arrived by now | >> | Will they have arrived by now? | 
| She would have been listening | >> | Would she have been listening? | 
| The work will be finished soon | >> | Will the work be finished soon? | 
| They might have been invited to the party | >> | Might they have been invited to the party? | 
3: The present simple and the past simple have no auxiliary. We make questions by adding the auxillary do/does for the present simple or did for the past simple:
| They live here | >> | Do they live here? | 
| John lives here | >> | Does John live here? | 
| Everybody laughed | >> | Did everybody laugh? |
