Let’s Do This
Directions: From the dialog below, identify the questions that are answerable with
either a YES or NO.

Let’s Study and Analyze
Yes/No questions are also called closed questions because there are only
two possible responses: YES or NO. When forming Yes/No question, you must
include one of these verbs:
1. VERB BE: am, is, are, was, were, will be, has, have, had
● Use the VERB BE to ask YES/NO Question about the identity or description
of a person, place, or things.
Examples:
Question 1: Is this lesson interesting?
Reponses: (A) Yes. / Yes, it is. / Yes, it is interesting. (affirmative)
(B) No. / No, it isn’t. / No, it is not interesting. (Negative)

Reponses: (A) Yes. / Yes, they are. / Yes, they are the new learners.

learners.
xi
Note: The responses can be short (YES/affirmative or NO/negative), long
(Yes/No followed by the subject and verb be) or longer (subject + verb + object).
Examples:
Question: Am I at the correct location?
Reponses: (A) Yes. / Yes, you are. / Yes, you are at the correct
location.
(B) No. / No, you aren’t. / No, you are not at the correct
location.
Question: Was the information given on the internet?
Reponses: (A) Yes. / Yes, it was. / Yes, it was given on the internet.
(B) No. / No, it wasn’t. / No, it was not given on the
internet.
Examples:
Question: Are we working today?
Reponses: (A) Yes. / Yes, we are. / Yes, we are working today.
(B) No. / No, we aren’t. / No, we are not working today.
Question: Were they writing their scripts?
xii
Reponses: (A) Yes. / Yes, they were. / Yes, they were writing their
scripts.
(B) No. /No, they weren’t. /No, they were not writing their
scripts.
● Use the VERB HAVE to ask if somebody has done something or if some
action has taken place: (HAVE + past participle)
Examples:
Question: Has your teacher, Ms. Perez, arrived?
Reponses: (A) Yes. / Yes, she has. / Yes, she has arrived.
(B) No. / No, she hasn’t. / No, she has not [yet] arrived.
Question: Have you ever driven a car?

questions. These are the questions starting with Wh-words including: what,
when, where, who, whom, which, whose, why and how.

Lydia, a Grade 6 ALS learner was tasked to do a simple survey to their
neighborhood for her homework. She will be asking the following questions. Help
her choose the correct Wh-word. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
xxiv
A. YES/NO Questions
1. Affirmative answer starts with YES, while the negative answer starts with NO.
2. To create a question that can be answered either by a yes or no, start the
question with Do, Does or Did, (Doesn’t, Don’t, Didn’t) for a negative question)
then add a subject (the person or thing that does the action) followed by the base
form of the verb and only then add the rest of the sentence.
3. We use modal verbs in yes/no questions when asking about possibility or
uncertainty. All modal verbs are followed by a main verb in its base form.
4. There are several ways to answer YES/NO Questions, especially when using
contractions.
Question Responses
Is he an Yes. No.
ALS Yes, he is. No, he isn’t.
learner?
No, he’s not.
Yes, he is an ALS learner. No, he isn’t an ALS learner.
Yes, he’s an ALS learner. No, he’s not an ALS learner.
No, he is not an ALS learner.
B. Wh-questions
1. Wh-questions begin with what, when, where, who, whom, which, whose, why
and how. We use them to ask for information. The answer cannot be yes or no.
2. We can add emphasis to Wh-questions in speaking by stressing the auxiliary
verb do. We usually do this when we have not already received the information that
we expected from an earlier question, or to show strong interest.
3. When we ask negative Wh-questions, we use the auxiliary verb do when there is
no other auxiliary or modal verb, even when the Wh-word is the subject.
