Asking Simple Questions

What are we learning today?

You will ask polite questions to get information about a job.

Explanation

• Start politely: Can I ask you about ...?
• With most verbs, use a question word, then do, then the subject and the verb.
• With "be", use a question word, then is: What exactly is the job?
• Use What time for time. Use How much for money.
• Do not forget "please".

Examples

1. Can I ask you about the Saturday job?
2. What exactly is the job?
3. What time do I start and finish?
4. How much money do I get?

Remember!

• Question word + do + subject + verb.
• Wrong: "What time I start?" Right: "What time do I start?"

Check yourself

1. Make a question: you / what time / start.
2. Complete: "Can I ask you ___ the job?" (about / at)
3. Which question asks about the money?
