INTRODUCTION

When making questions, the following elements are important to consider:

- the form of the question (auxiliary, be or subject)

- the tense (simple present, present progressive, etc.)

         Note:  present progressive (be+ verb-ing) and future with going to (be going to + verb) questions are always auxiliary questions.

- the type (yes/no and information)

    In the boxes below, these elements are explained.
