Word in Order : Wh-Question ( what,where,when,why,which,who,whom,whose,or how)

Word order refers to the way words are arranged in a sentence. The standard word order in
English is: Subject + Verb + Object. To determine the proper sequence of words, you need to
understand what the subject, verb and object(s) are.

In questions, the word order subject-verbs-object is the same as in affirmative sentences.

The only thing that’s different is that you usually have to put the auxiliary verb (or the main
verb “be”) before the subject. Interrogatives are put at the beginning of the sentences:

You don’t use an auxiliary verb if you ask for the subject. In this case the interrogative simply
takes the place of the subject.

The Present Continuous

The present continuous (also called present progressive) is a verb tense which is used to show
that an ongoing action is happening now, either at the moment of speech or now in a larger
sense. The present continuous can also be used to show that an action is going to take place in
the near future. Read on for detailed descriptions, examples, and present continuous exercises.

Formula :
The present continuous is formed using am/is/are + present participle. Questions are indicated
by inverting the subject and am/is/are. Negatives are made with not.

Statement: You are watching TV.

Question: Are you watching TV?
Negative: You are not watching TV.
