2. Yes/No Question
A yes-no
question is an interrogative construction (such
as "Are you ready?") that expects an answer of "yes" or
"no." Also known as a polar interrogative, a polar
question, and a bipolar question. Contrast with wh- question.
Example
:
Are
you an angel?
Are
you just going to stand there all day?
Function :
Typically, pollsters ask questions that will
elicit yes or no answers. Is it necessary to point out that such answers do not
give a robust meaning to the phrase 'public opinion'
Pattern :
(if the sentence has helping verb but is main
verb be)
Be(am/is/are/was/were) + S (+Complement) ?
(If the sentence doesn’t have helping verb and isn’t main verb be)
Do/does/did + S + main verb ?
3.
Tag Question
Question tags
are the short questions that we put on the end of sentences – particularly in
spoken English. There are lots of different question tags but the rules are not
difficult to learn.
Example :
Positive
He’s a doctor,
isn’t he?
You work in a bank,
don’t you?
Negative
He had met him before, hadn’t he?
This isn’t working, is it?
Function :
Question tags are an important part of everyday communication
and perform many different functions. For example, they can be used to get a
conversation started or keep it moving; they can soften an order to do
something or they can be a more polite way to request information.
Pattern :
Linking Verb “be” / Auxiliary Verb +/-
Not + Pronoun
