What are question forms in English?
Question forms in English include yes/no questions (Do you...?), wh-questions (What...?, Where...?), and tag questions (..., isn't it?). Getting the word order and auxiliaries right is essential for clear communication.
How to form questions
Yes/no: auxiliary + subject + verb ('Do you like it?'). Wh-: question word + auxiliary + subject + verb ('What do you like?'). With 'be': verb before subject ('Are you ready?'). Practising questions in conversation with Rozy fixes order and auxiliary use.
Questions in speaking
We ask questions all the time to get information, show interest, or clarify. Practising both asking and answering in dialogue builds confidence and accuracy.

- When do I use 'do' in questions?
- Use 'do'/'does' (present) or 'did' (past) with most verbs: 'Do you speak English?', 'Where did she go?' Not with 'be' or modal verbs.
