မေးခွန်းပုံစံ grammar ၂ မျိူးရှိပါတယ် yes/no questions နဲ့ w-h questions ဆိုပြီး။
အောက်ဖော်ပြပါ Neil, Finn, Sophie တို့ရဲ့ စကားပြောခန်းတွင် မေးခွန်းပုံစံ grammar များကိုဖော်ပြပေးလိုက်ပါတယ်။
Neil
And here’s Finn with our first yes/no question:
Finn
Can you speak English? Can you speak English?
Neil
Yes I can, thanks Finn. That’s a useful first question.
Sophie
Yes, and it’s made with the auxiliary verb can, plus the subject you and a verb: speak. Can you speak? Can you speak English Neil?
Neil
Yes, I can.Another question please Finn?
Finn
Do you work every day? Do you work every day?
Sophie
Auxiliary Verb: do, subject: you, verb: work. Do you work every day, Neil?
Neil
I don't, no. I don't work at weekends. Finn?
Finn
Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Sophie
Auxiliary verb : do, subject : you, verb: have. Neil, do you have any brothers or sisters?
Neil
Yes I do: I've got one sister. Now another way to make yes-no questions is with the verb to be plus a subject. Let’s demonstrate. Sophie: Are you married?
Sophie
No, Neil, I’m not. Is your boss married?
Neil
My boss? No, he isn't. Were you in the office yesterday?
Sophie
Yes, sadly I was in the office yesterday.
Neil
And we're talking about question forms.
Sophie
Now, the second main type of question in English starts with what, where, when, which, why, who, or the odd one out
Neil
… how.
Sophie
So let’s try making a question with where. We add an auxiliary verb
Neil
… such as do
Sophie
… then we can add a subject plus a verb. For example: Neil, Where do you live? Where do you live?
Neil
I live in south London. Where do you live, Sophie?
Sophie
I live in north London. Now let’s change the question word and the verb. Which languages do you speak?
Neil
And here we add a noun to which: Which languages do you speak?
Sophie
Just English. And with a different auxiliary: Which languages can you speak?
Neil
We can add nouns to some of the other question words: What time do you start work?
Sophie
About 9 o'clock in the morning. And if we ask 'What time is it?' we’re making a w-h question with the verb to be. I can ask: Where were you born?
Neil
I was born in England. When is your birthday?
Sophie
In September. What is your work address?
Neil
It's W1A. Lots of useful questions with to be there. Now for a very personal question with to be: Sophie, How old are you?
Sophie
You should never ask a woman her age! And for questions with how, we usually add an extra word. To ask about age it’s:
Finn
How old…
Sophie
For price it’s:
Finn
How much…
Neil
For size we ask:
Finn
How big…
Sophie
And for height it’s
Finn
How tall.
Sophie
How tall are you, Neil?
Neil
About 180cm. And of course, you can’t answer a w-h question with yes or no. How tall are you,Sophie?
Sophie
I think we're actually the same height.
Neil
Let me see, back to back… No, I'm taller! Is it time for a practice task Sophie?
Sophie
Yes, it is. Join in at home if you like. I’m going to give you a topic to ask me about, and you have to make one yes/no question and one w-h question. And Neil will give some possible answers. Here’s the first topic: Ask me about my age.
Neil
Ok, so you could ask: How old are you? When were you born?
Sophie
Now ask me about my home.
Neil
Do you live with your family? What is your address?
Sophie
Now ask me about my work.
Neil
Do you work near here? How much do you earn?
Sophie
Thanks Neil. And well done to you at home if you joined in with the task.
Neil
So that’s a look at some basic question types we can use when we’re getting to know people. We had yes/no questions,
Sophie
And we looked at questions starting with w-h words.
Neil
And we found out some interesting information about each other. I didn’t know how tall you were, Sophie!
Sophie
I know, it's quite incredible really. And there’s lots more about questions forms on our website at bbclearningenglish.com. Join us again for more 6 Minute Grammar.
