General Questions
Also
known as "Yes/No questions" because a short answer (yes or no)
is expected. This kind of question is formed by putting an auxiliary verb
before the subject (=inversion).
For
example:
A: Are you from Greece?
B: Yes, I am / No, I am not
A: Was she at home
yesterday?
B: Yes, she was / No, she wasn't.
Special
Questions
They
ask for details (we also call them Wh-questions as most of them start
with "wh": What? Which? When? Where? Why? Whose? Or: How? How many?
How much?). Special questions require inversion.
For
example:
-Where are
you from?
-I am from America.
!!! Note:
Questions to the subject have the word order of an affirmative sentence.
-Who will buy milk?
-Who wants some tea?
Disjunctive questions
Or “question tags” \ “Tag Questions”( at the end of sentence). We
use them to show emphasis, politeness, irony or lack of confidence.
Main
Clause+comma+ Positive/Negative Aux. Verb + Personal Pronoun.
For example:
-They have just arrived, haven't
they?
-You like her, don't you?
Alternative Questions
They are questions that offer the listener a closed
choice between two or more answers. They are formed like Yes/No questions.
For
example:
-Would you like eggs, pancakes or waffles?
-Will you come at 3 or at 5 in the evening?
