1 ? ? ? Yes / No Questions ? Simple Present ? ? ?

2 We use the verb to be (am / is / are) to make yes / no questions that don´t have an action verb. We make this type of question when we want to know about facts / reality. Are you married? Yes, I am. Is he your brother? No, he isn´t. = No, he is not. Is she an artist? Yes, she is.

3 Subjective pronoun I You He She It We They Verb to be am are is

4 Verb to be + Subject + complement?
When we form the a question the verb to be, we need to invert the order of the subject of the sentence with the verb to be: Affirmative: He is from Brasilia. Yes/no question: Is he from Brasilia? Short answer:Yes, he is. / No, he isn´t Complete answer: Yes. He is from Brasilia Formula – Yes/No Questions with the verb to be: Verb to be + Subject + complement? Is Paul your friend? Are you American? Is your sister married?

5 Can you make some yes /no questions with the words below?
Example: Is she your sister? they happy are married single sad He A dentist she His brother From Brasilia You is Your friend a doctor

6 When we have an action verb, we need a ¨helper¨ (an auxiliary verb) to form the question – DO/DOES
Do you play soccer? Yes, I do. Do they speak French? No, they don´t. = No, they do not. Does she drive to work? Yes, she does. Does he travel a lot? No, he doesn´t. = No, he does not.

7 Remember that when forming a question with the 3rd person singular (he/she/it) we use DOES, and the action verb goes back to its base form: He travels every week. (the verb ¨to travel¨ is conjugated) Does he travel every week? (the verb travel is now in his base form – the infinitive without the ¨to¨) Let´s remember the conjugation of verbs in English: I travel study play You travel study play he/she/it travels studies plays We travel study play You travel study play They travel study play

8 Do / Does+ Subject + action verb + complement?
When we form a question with an action verb, we have to place the helper , the auxiliary verb DO / DOES in the beginning of the question and, and when it is a question in the 3rd person singular, the action verb goes back to its base form (infinitive minus ¨to¨) Affirmative: I like chocolate. / He likes chocoloate. Yes/no question: Do you like chocolate? / Does he like chocolate? Short answer:Yes, I do. or No, I don´t / Yes, he does. Or No, he doesn´t = No, I do not = No, he does not Complete answer: Yes. I like chocolate. / Yes, He likes chocoloate Formula – Yes/No Questions with an action verb: Do / Does+ Subject + action verb + complement? Does Paul play the guitar? Do you like chocolate?
