hello I’m Emma from English asking
questions and giving answers are the
basics of great conversation in English
and in any language but are you doing it
correctly in English many of my students
can get by they can get their message
across
even without the correct structure world
order or intonation but it makes for a
very bumpy awkward conversation in this
lesson I want to help you improve the
structure of your questions so that they
flow smoothly clearly and automatically
and finally you can start enjoying
English conversation it’s important to
spend some time improving your Q&A
skills have you heard that before
um eh it stands for question and answers
you might have heard it somewhere before
Q&A first up let’s review question
structure in English now the good news
is that English questions are fairly
consistent and easy to follow because
they have a clear structure there are
four main part that you need to keep in
mind the first part question was who
what where when how why or questions
phrases like how long or how often or
how much then number two is your
accelerator or your helping them be do
or have you can also be a modal
auxiliary verb like can or will or
should thirdly you need your subject I
you we et cetera
and your main verb any verb clay eat bye
these are the four things that you need
and you need them in that order every
time okay let’s try it with some
examples ready
where do you live question word
octillery subject main verb what do you
like about it
question words auxilary subject main
verb how long have you been living there
question phrase octillery verb subject
main third okay so what about this type
of question do you live in England
in this question we don’t have a
question word but we do have all of the
other parts of the English question
structure you don’t have the question
word but we do have the auxiliary verb
do the subject you and the main verb
live it’s as simple as that
every time this type of question is
perfectly acceptable – you don’t need to
have a question word there are two types
of questions in English closed questions
the questions which start with an
auxilary verb and open question
questions which start with a question
word or a question phrase keep that in
mind for a few minute questions that
start with an auxilary verb or a helping
verb are Chloe’s questioned because they
require just a simple answer yes or no
the detail is not really important do
you like the soup no I don’t
can you help me for a minute yeah I can
have you been to Italy no I haven’t are
you enjoying the movie yeah I am and now
the good tip here is the connection
between the question and the answer see
how the answer directly responds the
information in the question are you yeah
I am no I’m not have you no I haven’t
yeah I have there are lots of patterns
in English questions so if you start
paying attention to the detail you’ll
really be able to improve your grammar
questions that start with the question
word our open questions and they’re
questions that require more information
in the answer not just have you been to
Italy but when did you go I went last
year how long did you stay there I say
deaf at 3 months why did you go there I
went to study and learn Italian
a good rule of thumb is that closed
questions are great for confirming
information about people do you live
there once you confirm the answer then
you can use open questions to learn more
about them their experiences their
opinions their recommendations how long
does it take to drive there what’s the
best restaurant to try what’s the
weather like at this time of year what’s
the best thing about living there again
let me show you that the question
structure always stays the same question
word octillery verb subject main verb go
the most obvious difference between open
and closed questions into the question
word but there is another noticeable
difference and that’s intonation
intonation is the way that your voice
rises and fall when we speak the
intonation of your question depends on
the type of questions that it the closed
question so questions with auxiliary
verbs your information goes up at the
end if you like them are you hungry
open questions that require more
information in the answers usually go
down in information why do you like them
what do you want to eat an important
thing to think about all the time but
especially when you’re trying to use
questions correctly is making sure that
your subject and your axilla reverb
match when you’re using an auxiliary
verb in English questions and in regular
sentences to your main verb stays in
your infinitive form and your axillary
verb to change depending on the subject
and alter the temp for example do you
live in London the octillery verb
matches the subject is our subject
changes to he then we need to change our
auxiliary verb to match it does he live
in London as they try there has she
tried it
where would be living before whether
they living before so the relationship
between the axilla me verb and the
subject is one that you need to pay
close attention to now I want to warn
you in real conversations things get
loose farts and sometimes grammatically
incorrect most native English speakers
can be a bit cheeky and a bit lazy at
times especially when they’re speaking
so you need to listen for key pieces of
information plus information and try to
just go with the flow one very common
example of this is with clothes
questions ones that start with an
oxidizer they can be shortened so the
question do you want to get something to
eat can become want to get something to
eat
the intonation is important here so that
you know that it’s a question the
intonation goes up because it’s a closed
question want to get something to eat
okay well be sure to download my cheat
sheet and audio guide to help you
practice using questions correctly you
can get it right here so there was a lot
to take in that lesson and I’ll
definitely link to some other video
lessons that I’ve made that will help
you practice auxilary verbs subject verb
agreement and question information right
here here maybe I’ll put one here too be

sister and I release new lessons and
worksheet every week so I hope to see
you in the next lesson bye for now
