Questions | Past Simple

Getting Information

To get information about something, we need to ask questions. The information you will get depends on the question you make.

YES/NO QUESTIONS: Questions that can be answered with yes or no: Did Karla study last Sunday?

INFORMATION QUESTIONS: Questions that need more complete ideas to be answered. They give details. Where did she go?

  • How many people . . .
  • How old . . .
  • How tall . . .
  • Which of these . . .
  • And WHO does not always need the auxiliary

Please remember that each question word gives a different kind of complementary answer. Also, some question words have more than one word before the auxiliary:

It is also important to remember that if the question has the verb BE in past - was / were - the answer should have the verb BE also. The same applies if the answer has was / were, then the question also needs was / were.

PRACTICE!
