Questions of Yes or No in English
Questions of Yes or No in English
The explanation is simple: these questions have this name because to answer them it is only
necessary to say YES or NO. We use them in conversations normally to confirm or rule out facts or
ideas.
After finishing this lesson you will be able to use these types of questions correctly and
appropriately. On the surface, this topic seems easy; however, you must be very attentive to the
use of auxiliaries. Next, we will address precisely the issue of structure.
In the structure we must use the appropriate auxiliary for each verb tense both in questions and in
answers. Look at the following explanations and examples, look at the questions and also at the
answers.
VERB TO BE
________________________________________
With the verb TO BE we first use the correct form of the verb for the present (am, is, are) or the
past (was, were), the subject and the complement:
SIMPLE PRESENT

In these questions we use the auxiliary DO (with the pronouns I, you, we, they) or DOES (with he,
she, it).
• Do you have breakfast every day? You have breakfast every day?
