In this class we will talk about question words and how we can use them with the
verb to be in the present tense.
Question words are those words that may go in the beginning of a question. When
we use question words we do not use a yes or no answer.
Los “questions words” son las palabras específicas que se deben colocar al inicio
de la frase pregunta en inglés. Cuando se utilizan estos no se responde con las
respuestas cortas si o no (Yes, I am por ejemplo) Se responde con una oración
completa ( S+V+C).
Ejemplo :
What’s your name?
I’m David Taylor. (The answer is a sentence)
Question words are used to gather specific information. The following table shows
the meaning of the question words in Spanish.
Remember:
In questions with the verb to be, only the question words can go in the beginning.
Nothing may go in front of the question words in full questions.
