Comments

Hello! Thank you for watching VisiHow! In this tutorial, we'll be discussing how to form a "Yes" or "No" question in the English language from a statement.

1. 1
   We'll form "Yes" or "No" questions out of three statements

   :

   • "We will leave soon."
   • "You are working."
   • "I can go outside."
     

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
2. 2
   Each of the sentences has

   • a pronoun (or noun): "we", "you", or "I";
   • a verb: "leave", "working", or "go";
   • an auxiliary verb (optional): "will", "are", or "can".
     

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
3. 3
   In order to form a question that can be answered by either "Yes" or "No" out of these sentences, we invert the pronoun (or noun) and auxiliary verb positions

   .

   We use "do" or "do not" if there is no auxiliary verb in the predicate.

4. 4
   The statements will translate into the following questions

   :

   • "Will we leave soon?"
   • "Are you working?"
   • "Can I go outside?"
     We will have the statement beginning with a pronoun. On the right, we'll have questions that can be answered by either "Yes" or "No". They begin with auxiliary verbs followed directly by a pronoun (or noun).
