Word order in questions - Grammar chart

Questions in general

If we want to ask a question in English, the order is QWASM: Question word, Auxiliary verb, Subject, Main verb. In Yes-No questions (questions where the answer is yes or no), there is no Question Word.

Questions with be as the main verb

When be is the main verb, it is used as the Auxiliary in the question, and then we don't have a Main verb after the Subject.

Auxiliary verbs

In the position of Auxiliary, we can use be, do, have or any modal verb: can, could, will, would, should, etc.

Have is only an auxiliary verb in the form have got and in the present perfect.

For other uses of have, we need an auxiliary verb ( do, did) for questions.

Have got only has a present form. It does not have a past form.

Question words

how much

We can use how much to ask about the price of something.

how + adjective

We can use how + adjective (any adjective) as a question word.

We can use which + noun, and we can also use what + noun. We use which when there are a small number of possible answers. Look at the difference:

Which car do you like, the red or the blue? (there is a small number of possible answers)

'What car have you got?' 'A Mercedes.' (many possible answers)

Exercises Explanation Downloads

Present continuous - I'm doing, I'm not doing, Are you doing?

Exercise 1

Write positive or negative sentences in present continuous using the verbs in brackets. Use SHORT FORMS when possible.

Present continuous - Form

We form the present continuous with am/is/are + the -ing form of the verb.

She is listening to the radio.

They are doing their homework.

The short forms of am/is/are are: 'm/'s/'re.

The negative short forms of am not/is not/are not are: 'm not/isn't/aren't.

Note that we can use short forms only in negative short answers, but not in positive short answers.

'Are you writing a book?' 'Yes, I am.' (NOT Yes, I'm.)

Actions happening now

We use the present continuous for things happening now, at the moment of speaking.

'What are you doing?' 'I'm watching TV.'

Actions happening around now

We use the present continuous for temporary things that are happening around now (=not at the moment of speaking but these days, or weeks, etc.)

Now, these days, at the moment, etc.

We use the present continuous with time expressions that mean 'now' or 'around now': now, at the moment, at present, today, these days, this week, etc.

Past simple regular

We often add -ed to verbs (regular verbs) to make the past simple.

Spelling of regular verbs

When do we double the consonant?

We double the consonant when the verb ends in consonant + vowel + consonant. This is always true when the verb is one syllable.

When the verb is two syllables, we only double the consonant when the STRESS is in the last syllable.

reFER ⇒ referred, preFER ⇒ preferred, reGRET ⇒ regretted

But we do NOT double the consonant when the STRESS is NOT in the last syllable.

VIsit ⇒ visited, ANswer ⇒ answered.

Past simple irregular

Some verb are irregular and they don't add -ed to make the past simple. Some very common irregular verbs are:

Past simple - use

Past finished actions or states

We can use the past simple to talk about past finished actions or states. We know and we often mention when these actions happened with a past time expression: yesterday, yesterday morning, last night, last week, two days ago, five years ago, etc.

Past repeated actions

We can use the past simple to talk about habits or repeated actions that happened in the past but don't happen in the present. We often use adverbs or expressions of frequency ( often, always, every day, etc.).

The same form for all persons

The form of should is the same for all persons:

You should listen to me. (NOT You should to listen.)

Should not= shouldn't

The negative form of should is should not or shouldn't.

You should not be here./You shouldn't be here.

To make questions, we use should + subject + infinitive. We don't use the verb do to make questions.

Should, shouldn't - Use

Giving advice

We use should or shouldn't to give somebody advice and to say what is or isn't the right thing to do.

I think you should ...

We often say I think ... should ... to give somebody advice.

Note that in a negative sentence, we often say I don't think ... should ... (NOT I think ... shouldn't ...)

I don't think you should call her now; she's very upset. (NOT I think you shouldn't call her)

We often say Do you think ... should ... to ask for advice.

Ought to, ought not to

We use the present perfect to talk about past actions or events when time is not mentioned, i.e. we don't say when these events happened.

Just already, yet

We often the present perfect with just, already and yet. We can use just after the verb have to emphasise that these events are very recent.

We use already in positive sentences to talk about actions that we have completed sooner than we expected. Already goes after the verb have.

We use yet in negative sentences and questions to talk about things that we expect to happen soon. Yet goes at the end of the sentence.

Recently

We often use the present perfect with recently to talk about past recent actions.

Today, this week, this month, this year

We can use the present perfect with time expressions when the time we mention has not finished.

Past experiences - never, ever, before

We use the present perfect to talk about past experiences when we don't say or we don't know when something happened.

Never, ever, before
