b. Yes / No questions In English, there are two basic types of questions: Yes / No questions and Wh– questions. Yes/ No questions are also called closed questions because there are only two possible responses: Yes or No. When forming a Yes / No question, it must include one of these verbs: BE, DO, HAVE, or a modal verb. It is impossible to ask a Yes / No question without one of these verbs. Correct Are elections next year? Does he want to stay? Have the boys eaten? Can the dog swim?

incorrect Elections next year? He want to stay? The boys eaten? The dog swim?

Use the verb BE to ask Yes / No questions about the identity or description of a person, place, or thing. Question Am I your friend? Is this a good restaurant?

response Yes. / Yes, you are. / Yes, you are my friend. No. / No, it is not. / No, it is not a good restaurant.

Are these islands Greek? Was his idea interesting? Were they happy?

Yes. / Yes, they are. / Yes, these islands are Greek. No. / No, it wasn’t. / No, his idea was not interesting.  Yes. / Yes, they were. / Yes, they were happy.

Note that the response can be short (Yes. / No.), or long: Yes or No followed by the subject and verb. Use the verb BE with a preposition to ask Yes / No questions about a present or past location. Question Am I at the correct location? Are the keys under the books? Was his house on an island? Were the demonstrations in the center of town?

response No. / No, you aren’t.  No. / No, they are not. Yes. / Yes, it was. No. / No, they weren’t. 

Use the verb BE to ask a Yes / No question about a current activity or situation. This requires the present progressive: BE + (verb+ing). Question Am I going with you and Tom? Is she working today? Are we seeing a play tomorrow?

response Yes. / Yes, you are. No. / No, she isn’t.  Yes. / Yes, we are.

 

Use the verb BE to ask a Yes / No question about a past activity or situation. This requires the past progressive: WAS / WERE + (verb+ing). Question Was it raining? Were they playing?

response Yes. / Yes, it was. No. / No, they weren’t. 

Use the verb BE to ask a Yes / No question with the passive voice. Question Is gold mined in Canada? Are flowers grown here? Was the book read?

response Yes. / Yes it is. No. / No, they are not. Yes. / Yes, it was.

Use the verb HAVE to ask if somebody has done something or if some action has taken place. Note that these Yes / No questions use the present perfect (HAVE + past participle). Question Has your brother left?

response No. / No, he hasn’t. 

Have you driven before? Has the party started?

Yes. / Yes, I have. Yes. / Yes, it has.

Use the verb DO to ask Yes / No questions in order to obtain facts about people, places, or things. Question Do they smoke? Does it rain here? Did the key work?

response No. / No, they don’t.  Yes. / Yes, it does. No. / No, it didn’t. 

Use modal verbs to ask Yes / No questions about possibilities or uncertainties. Question Can we stay? Could this be true? Should they stop? May I help you?

response Yes. / Yes, we can. / Yes, we can stay. Yes. / Yes, it could (be true). No. / No, they shouldn’t (stop).  Yes. / Yes you may (help me).

When asking Yes / No questions with DO or a modal verb, the main verb remains in the base form (without to). Correct Do you drink coffee? Does she work here? Can I go with you?

incorrect Do you to drink coffee? Does she to work here? Can I to go with you?

Should we email her?

Should we to email her?

 

  However, if there are two verbs that follow DO, the second verb remains in the infinitive (with to). Correct Do you want to drink coffee? Does she like to work here? Did you need to go home?

incorrect Do you want drink coffee? Does she like work here? Did you need go home?

Note that there are several ways to answer Yes / No questions, especially when using contractions. Question Is he busy?

response No. No, he isn’t.  No, he’s not.  No, he is not. No, he isn’t busy.  No, he’s not busy.  No, he is not busy.

2.  Text Structures a. Wh– questions Wh– questions are so called because with the exception of the question word how, all the question words begin with the letters Wh. They are also called open questions because the number of possible responses is limitless. This means they must be answered with more information than just a simple “yes” or “no.”  Here are the Wh- English question words. who, whom – what – when – where – why – how – which -whose Who and whom are used to obtain information about a person or people. Question response Who is at the door? Tom is at the door. Who wants an apple? I want an apple. Whom is he dating? (Who is he dating?) He is dating Anna. What is used to request information about somebody or something. Question response What is this? What did she say? What have they done?

When is used to obtain information about the time period in which an action occurs. Question response When does Anna arrive? She arrives at 10:30. When can I see you again? I don’t know.  When was the race? The race was yesterday. Where is used to obtain information about the location of a person or thing. Question response Where does Natasha live? Where were the keys? Where have you been?

LEARNING ACTIVITY OF FIFTH MEETING 1.  Social Function Show my appreciation to my friends Below are some common expression used to show my appreciation to my friends a.  you are very kind b.  thanks for the attention c.  you are the best d.  that is my son e.  what a good name f.  amazing g.  excellent Examples of Dialog Dialog 1 Ani : This is my cat. She is cute, isn’t she?   Boni : Yes. I think she is cute. What is her name? Ani : She is Putih. Boni : What a good name! Dialog 2 Eni : What do you think about this picture? Bima : Amazing! What about you? Eni : I think it is beautiful too. Ani drew it. Bima : Wow she is creative. Dialog 3 Nina : Listen to how she is singing. Nino : Wow, excellent!

Nina : That’s right. I like her voice.  Nino : So do I. 2.  Text Structures a. Question Tag Question tags are the short questions that we put on the end of sentences – particularly in spoken English. There are lots of different question tags but the rules are not difficult to learn. Positive/negative If the main part of the sentence s entence is positive, the question tag is negative ….  He’s a doctor, isn’t he?  You work in a bank, don’t you?  

 

... and if the main part of the sentence is negative, the question tag is positive. You haven’t met him, have you?  She isn’t coming, is she?  With auxiliary verbs The question tag uses the same verb as the main part of the sentence. If this is an auxiliary

verb (‘have’, ‘be’) then the question tag is made with the auxiliary verb.  They’ve gone away for a few days, haven’t they?   They weren’t here, were they? He had met him before, hadn’t he?  This isn’t working, is it?   Without auxiliary verbs If the main part of the sentence doesn’t have an auxiliary verb, the question tag uses an appropriate form of ‘do’.  I said that, didn’t I?  You don’t recognise me, do you? She eats meat, doesn’t she?   With modal verbs If there is a modal verb in the main part of the sentence the question tag uses the same modal verb.

They couldn’t hear me, could they?  You won’t tell anyone, will you?  With ‘I am’  Be careful with question tags with sentences that start ‘I am’. The question tag for ‘I am’ is ‘aren’t I?’  I’m the fastest, aren’t I?  Intonation Question tags can either be ‘real’ questions where you want to know the answer or simply asking for agreement when we already know the answer. If the question tag is a real question we use rising intonation. Our tone of voice rises. If we already know the answer we use falling intonation. Our tone of voice falls.
