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? |
