Asking Questions

There are several ways to ask questions in English.

1. Start the sentence with the verb do followed by the subject followed by the main verb of the sentence.
2. Start the sentence with the main verb followed by the subject when the verb is be, will, can, may, shall, or must.
3. Start the sentence with a question word such as who, where, what, when, how, or why.
