Types of Questions

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). Ex.: Are you from Greece? Answer: Yes, I am / No, I am not Ex: Was she at home yesterday? Answer: 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. Ex.: Where are you from?  I am from America. Questions to the subject have the word order of an affirmative sentence. Ex.: Who will buy milk?   Who wants some tea?
Disjunctive questions Or “question tags” ( 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. Ex.: 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. Ex.: Would you like eggs, pancakes, or waffles? Will you come at 3 or at 5 in the evening?
