7A — Word order in questions

1. A. Questions with “be”

When be (am / is / are) is the main verb, we make questions by changing the order:

The Form:

Be + Subject …?

Statement	Question
You are tired.	Are you tired?
She is late.	Is she late?
They are from Spain.	Are they from Spain?

With question words, the verb still comes before the subject:

Wh-word	Be	Subject …?
Where	are	you from?
How old	is	your brother?
Why	are	they angry?

B. Questions with other verbs

When the main verb is not be, we use do / does.

The Form:

Question word + do/does + Subject + verb …?

Wh-word	Do/Does	Subject	Verb
Where	Does	he	live?
How	Does	she	come here?
Why	Does	your brother	study here?
How	Do	they	come to school?
When	Do	you	finish your job?
How often	Do	we	have a class?
