  7. Positive and Negative Yes/No Questions Positive yes/no questions do not imply any expectation regarding whether the answer will be yes or no. Negative yes/no questions are generally asked to confirm an assumption or expectation.

  8. Exercise 1 • Indicate what expectation or assumption do these questions imply. • Aren’t you a plumber? • I expected you to be a plumber. • Can’t you wait a little? • I assume that you are getting a little impatient. • Weren’t you informed? • I expected you were informed. • Didn’t I warn you before? • I’m annoyed because you didn’t listen to me. • Won’t you help him? • I’m sure you will help him.

  9. Wh- Questions • Questions that start with a question word and require a longer answer. You can’t answer a wh- question with a YES or NO. • When will the match start? • How far is your house from your school? • Which color is your favorite?

  12. Special Question Words • Who • Subject: Who invented radio? Who discovered America? Who stood first? • Possesion: Whose pen is it? Whose house are you looking for? Whose bags is this? / Whose is this bag? • Object: Whom did you call? Who did you talk to? Who are you talking about? • What • Subject: What went wrong? What happened afterwards?

  14. Embedded Questions • Questions that appear in a declarative statement or in an other question Do you know where he lives? Can you tell me why you misbehaved? I wonder why you come late. The question is how often we should assess our students’ progress. Who will tell me where our prophet (SAW) was born? Does anyone know how plants grow? Tell me what time it is. Can you explain how clouds are formed?

They’re not willing, are they? Same Polarity Tag Questions: So, that’s your masterpiece, is it? Be quiet, will you? It’s your test today, remember? Let’s start working, shall we?
