Basic Question Structure The basic structure of a question in English is very
simple: auxiliary verb + subject + main
verb | auxiliary verb | subject | main verb | | | Do | you | like | Mary? | | Are | they | playing | football? | | Will | Anthony | go | to Tokyo? | | Have | you | seen | ET? | Exception!
For the verb
be in simple present and simple past, we do not use an auxiliary verb.
We simply reverse the positions of be and subject: | Statement: | He | is | German. | | Question: | Is | he | German? | Basic Question Types
