Asking Simple Questions

What are we learning today?

You will ask simple questions to get information. You will put the words in the right order.

Explanation

Use a question word, a helper word and a subject.

• With is/are: Wh-word + is/are + subject. For example: What time is it now?
• With do/does: Wh-word + do/does + subject + verb. For example: Where does your family live?

Your voice goes down at the end of a Wh-question.

Examples

1. Where does your family live?
2. What time do you get up in the morning?
3. What do you do after school?

Remember!

• Do not say "Where you live?". Say "Where do you live?"
• Use the helper word only once: "Where does she live?"
• When and What time ask about time.

Check yourself

1. Complete: "Who ___ you live with?" (do / does)
2. Put in order: you / When / sport / do / do
3. Which question word asks about time: "When" or "Who"?
