Would you like some iced tea?
Page 21 of 22
sentence. For the subject pattern:
Examples: Someone took my baseball. Who took my baseball?Flies are bothering him What are bothering him?He broke the vase Who broke the vase?
For the predicate pattern, wh- question formation depends on whether there is an “auxiliary” verb in the original sentence.
There is an auxiliary verb:Example:He is doing his homework. What is he doing?The baby is crying because he is hungry Why is the baby crying?They are walking while sleeping because they are sleepwalking Why are they walking?
There is no auxiliary and the verb “be”:Example:They are astronauts Who are they? Our language is ₪ What is your language?Those are my brother’s sweaters Whose sweaters are those?The restaurant is on the third floor Where is the restaurant?Her favorite candy is chocolate What is her favorite candy?
There is no auxiliary and the verb is not “be”:
