Questions | Grammar
Asking a question in English might seem difficult because there are lots of rules to understand, but it's not as hard as you think.
Firstly, we need to understand the difference between open and closed questions. This means questions where the answer could be anything or questions where the answer can only be 'yes' or 'no'.
Secondly, we need to look at the rules for subject and object questions. For example, "Who likes you?" is a subject question, but "Who do you like?" is an object question, which is why it needs the auxiliary verb 'do' as well.
Finally, we need to learn about question tags, which is a very common way of asking questions in English. "You understand, don't you?" That's an example of a question tag for you.
So this series of video lessons will teach you all you need to know about asking questions in English. Let's get started, shall we?
