To form a question using a verb, you generally need to invert the subject and verb. Here are some examples:
-
Statement: You like ice cream.
Question: Do you like ice cream? -
Statement: She is going to the park.
Question: Is she going to the park? -
Statement: They have finished their homework.
Question: Have they finished their homework?
The key steps are:
- Identify the verb in the statement.
- Move the verb to the front of the sentence, before the subject.
- Add a helping verb like “do”, “does”, or “have” if needed to form the question properly.
This inversion of the subject and verb is the basic structure for forming questions using verbs in English. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional examples you’d like me to walk through!

To form a question using a verb in English, you typically need to invert the sentence structure by placing the auxiliary verb before the subject.
Here are the general steps to form a question with a verb:
-
Identify the main verb in the statement.
-
Determine the appropriate auxiliary verb to use (e.g. do, does, did, will, would, can, could, etc.).
-
Place the auxiliary verb before the subject.
-
Keep the main verb in its original form (e.g. infinitive, past tense, etc.).
Example:
Statement: “You like chocolate.”
Question: “Do you like chocolate?”In this example, the main verb is “like”. The appropriate auxiliary verb is “do”, so it is placed before the subject “you”.
Other examples:
Statement: “She sings well.”
Question: “Does she sing well?”Statement: “They went to the park.”
Question: “Did they go to the park?”Statement: “The students will study tonight.”
Question: “Will the students study tonight?”The inversion of the subject and auxiliary verb is the key to properly forming questions with verbs in English. This structure allows the question to be clearly distinguished from a statement.
