General questions require answers “yes” or “no”. They are formed by placing the auxiliary or modal verbs before the subject. They are usually pronounced with the rising tone, e.g. Do you like art?
If the predicate is expressed by the verbs “to be” or “to have” the question is formed by placing the predicate before the subject, e.g. Is he at home?Have you many English books?
Special questions begin with an interrogative word (When? Where?etc.). The order of words is the same as in general questions but the interrogative word precedes the auxiliary verb, e.g. Where do you live?
When the interrogative word is the subject of the interrogative sentence or an attribute to the subject, no inversion is used (the order of words is that of a statement).
