Fascinating Fact:

Tag questions check understanding: You finished early, didn’t you? Positive statement, negative tag.

In 11 Plus English, you will meet different question types. Practice forming yes no questions with auxiliaries, using wh question words for detail, and adding tags to confirm information.

  • Interrogative sentence: A sentence that asks something and usually ends with a question mark.
  • Wh question: A question starting with who, what, when, where, why, or how to get specific information.
  • Question tag: A short phrase added to the end of a statement, such as isn’t it, to check or confirm.
How do I form a yes no question in English?

Use an auxiliary verb before the subject, for example Do you like music or Is the bus late. If there is no auxiliary, use do or did.

What are the wh question words and when are they used?

Use who for people, what for things or ideas, when for time, where for place, why for reasons, and how for method or degree.

How do question tags work in UK English?

Match the auxiliary and tense of the statement and switch the polarity. Positive statement takes a negative tag, for example You can swim, can’t you.
