To form a question using a verb, you typically follow these steps:
Choose the verb: Determine the main action or state you want to ask about.
Inversion: If you’re using a helping verb (like “is,” “are,” “do,” “does,” etc.), place it before the subject. If the verb is a main verb, use a form of “to do” for questions in the simple present or past.
Structure: Ensure the sentence structure is correct—this often involves starting with the verb or auxiliary verb.
Examples:
Using “to be”:
Statement: “She is happy.”
Question: “Is she happy?”
Using “do” for main verbs:
Statement: “You play soccer.”
Question: “Do you play soccer?”
Using “have”:
Statement: “They have a car.”
Question: “Do they have a car?”
By following these steps, you can effectively form questions using verbs.
