YES/NO QUESTION
 Listening point

 A YES/ NO question is introduced by an

auxiliary verb like be, have, do or a modal verb
like can, will, shall, may, would, etc.
 Ex:
o Will you attend the meeting ?
o Can you help me ?
o Should I call him tonight ?
 Listening point

 The response should start with Yes or No. However,

in the TOIEC test, Yes or No is often omitted in the
responses. Instead the speaker may give a possitive or
negative response that is approriate for the situation.
You may find various reponses, such as Of course.
Sure, I think so. Never,etc
 Ex :
o Will you attend the meeting? Yes, I will/ No, I won’t
o Can you help me? Yes, I can/ No, I can not
