Education in U.K.

For those who are interested!

 

Hello, everybody! :)
It's October! The school year has already started! WOW!
So, congrats, my students, on all of this!
And let's keep up the ball rolling!

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!!!

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?

Happy New Year!!!
