❓ English Question Structures – Bac-Level Guide

Questions in English follow specific structures depending on the type: Yes/No, WH-, or Tag Questions. It’s important to understand the logic and correct sentence structure.

✅ Yes/No Question Structure

Structure: (Auxiliary Verb + Subject + Main Verb?)

• Do you like pizza?
• Did he go to school?
• Will she come tomorrow?

🗣 Tounsi: Nebdew b verbe m3awn (do/did/will...), ba3d l fa3il, ba3d l verbe l’original.

✅ WH-Questions (What, Where, When, Why, How...)

Structure: (WH-word + Auxiliary + Subject + Verb)

• What do you need?
• Where did she go?
• Why are they late?

📌 Note: WH-words always come at the beginning. Tense and auxiliary must match.

🧠 Question Form Logic

• Present Simple: Do/Does + Subject + Verb
  Ex: Does he speak French?
• Past Simple: Did + Subject + Verb
  Ex: Did you see her yesterday?
• Future: Will + Subject + Verb
  Ex: Will they arrive on time?

🗣 Tounsi: Ahna nbadlou les positions mta3 fa3il w verbe selon le temps.

📐 Sentence Structure for Questions

• Wrong: You are happy?
• Correct: Are you happy?
• Wrong: She can drive?
• Correct: Can she drive?

💡 Tip: Auxiliary verb always comes before the subject.

🔁 Question Tags (Confirming with Yes/No)

• You like coffee, don’t you?
• She didn’t go, did she?
• They are students, aren’t they?

📌 Rule: Positive sentence = Negative tag / Negative sentence = Positive tag

🗣 Tounsi: Tag ya3ni tsa2lou b akher la phrase b idhn wala nafye. If affirmatif → tag negatif. If negatif → tag affirmatif.
