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? |
