Asking Questions

Asking questions helps us find out information and show curiosity. This KS2 English quiz teaches how to form clear and correct questions in writing and speech.

Fascinating Fact:

Some questions can be rhetorical, meaning they do not need an answer, like who doesn’t love holidays.

In KS2 English, pupils learn that questions help gather information and check understanding. They often begin with words like who, what, where, when, why, or how.

Key Terms

Question: A sentence used to ask for information, usually ending with a question mark.
Rhetorical Question: A question asked to make a point, not to get an actual answer.
Interrogative Word: A word used to form a question, such as “what” or “why.”

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What words do questions often start with?

Most questions begin with who, what, where, when, why, or how. These are known as question or interrogative words.

What punctuation should be used for a question?

A question always ends with a question mark (?) to show that an answer is expected or being asked for.

What is the difference between a question and a statement?

A question asks for information, while a statement gives information. For example, “Where are you going?” versus “I am going home.”

1 .

Change this statement into a question.
I like chocolate.

You like chocolate?

Yes.

Do I like chocolate.

Do I like chocolate?

'Do I like chocolate?' is an example of a rhetorical question. You wouldn't really expect someone else to answer that for you!

2 .

Change this statement into a question.
We will be visiting the museum later today.

Will we be visiting the museum later today?

Will we be visiting the museum later today.

Is the museum open later today?

The museum will be open later today?

In some instances, you might hear this as a question: 'We will be visiting the museum later today?' - using this word order would only be as a repetition of the original statement in order to express surprise.

3 .

Change this statement into a question.
Let's take the train to London.

Let's take the train to London?

Us let take the train to London.

Us let take the train to London?

Shall we take the train to London?

'Let's' = 'let us' - the only way to turn this into a question is to use 'shall we'.

4 .

Change this statement into a question.
You are eleven years old today.

Are you eleven years old today.

You are eleven years old? today?

Are you eleven years old today?

Eleven? Years old? Today?

The last answer is not correct, but would work very well when writing dialogue.

5 .

Change this statement into a question.
I can smell something delicious cooking for tea.

I can smell something delicious cooking for tea?

Can I smell something delicious cooking for tea.

Can I smell something delicious cooking for tea?

Is something delicious cooking for tea?

The last answer makes sense but forgets to mention smell.

6 .

Change this statement into a question.
The radiators are not working.

Are the radiators not working.

Are the radiators not working?

Are not the radiators working.

The radiators are working?

Often the word order has to change quite a bit when you turn a statement into a question.

7 .

Change this statement into a question.
My favourite toy has disappeared.

Has my favourite toy disappeared?

My favourite toy disappeared has?

Has my favourite toy disappeared.

Where is my favourite toy?

Don't forget to add the question mark.

Change this statement into a question.
He has wanted to be a doctor since he was a child.

Has he wanted to be a doctor since he was a child?

Has he wanted to be a doctor since he was a child.

Did he want to be a doctor since he was a child?

Does he want to be a doctor since he was a child?

'He has' simply becomes 'has he'.

9 .

Change this statement into a question.
A terrible storm is on its way.

Is a terrible storm on its way.

Is a terrible storm on its way?

Are you worried about the storm on its way?

A terrible storm? Is on its way.
