Types of questions:

5.

A common question (general question)
Если на вопрос надо ответить «да» или «нет», то это общий вопрос. Его
еще называют “Yes/No question”. Общая схема для такого вопроса
выглядит так:
вспомогательный или модальный глагол + подлежащее +
сказуемое + дополнение + остальные члены предложения.
Do (вспомогательный глагол) you (подлежащее) play (сказуемое)
computer games (дополнение)? – Ты играешь в компьютерные игры?
Can (модальный глагол) you (подлежащее) do (сказуемое) it
(дополнение) for me (остальные члены предложения)? – Ты можешь
для меня это сделать?

6.

Только не забывайте, что глаголу to be в настоящем и
простом прошедшем времени не нужны никакие
вспомогательные глаголы:
Are (глагол to be) you (подлежащее) at home (остальные члены
предложения)? – Ты дома?
Was (глагол to be) he (подлежащее) at the cinema yesterday
(остальные члены предложения)? – Он был вчера в кинотеатре?

7.

Special question
На такой вопрос уже просто «да» или «нет» не ответить. Он
требует подробного и развернутого ответа. Специальный вопрос в
английском языке отличается тем, что он может быть задан к
любому члену предложения. Порядок слов в таких вопросах такой
же, как и в общем, только в начале надо поставить одно из
вопросительных слов:
What? – Что?
When? – Когда?
Where? – Где?
Why? – Почему?
Which? – Который?

8.

А вот так выглядит формула, по которой строят специальный вопрос:
вопросительное слово + вспомогательный или модальный
глагол + подлежащее + сказуемое + дополнение + остальные
члены предложения.
Where (вопросительное слово) are (вспомогательный глагол) you
(подлежащее) going (сказуемое)? – Куда ты идешь?
What (вопросительное слово) do (вспомогательный глагол) you
(подлежащее) want to read (сказуемое)? – Что ты хочешь почитать?
When (вопросительное слово) did (вспомогательный глагол) you
(подлежащее) leave (сказуемое) the house (дополнение)? – Когда ты
ушел из дома?

9.

Alternative question
Посмотрите на название этого типа вопросов – «альтернативный»,
значит, что в вопросе должен быть выбор между двумя вариантами.
Такой вопрос можно задать к любому члену предложения. И самое
главное – здесь всегда вы встретите союз or (или). Формула такая же, как
в общем вопросе, но надо не забыть поставить or там, где нужно.
Рассмотрим, как мы можем задать альтернативные вопросы к такому
предложению:
They finished writing the article at 5 p.m. – Они закончили писать статью в 5
вечера.
Did they finish writing the article in the morning or at night? – Они закончили
писать статью утром или вечером?
Did they finish writing or reading the article? – Они закончили писать или

10.

Disjunctive question
Порядок слов в таком вопросе прямой, как в обычном
предложении. И только в конце такого предложения мы встретим
вопрос, который называется tag. В русском языке тоже есть такой
вопрос, и звучит он так: «не так ли?» / «не правда ли?» / «да?».
Для того чтобы образовать tag-question, вспомогательный глагол
и подлежащее надо поставить в конец предложения. Есть два
способа образования такого вопроса в английском языке:

11.

Начало предложения утвердительное + краткий отрицательный вопрос.
He reads a book, doesn't he? – Он читает книгу, не так ли?
His friend is German, isn't he? – Его друг немец, не так ли?

12.

Начало предложения отрицательное + краткий положительный вопрос.
She doesn’t go to the church, does she? – Она не
ходит в церковь, не так ли?
He is not at the meeting, is he? – Он не на встрече, не
так ли?
