Type of Question

Question

1.    5W+1H Question

The 5W1H framework can be applied to any topic at any level of granularity to gather, analyze and present information from the simplest to the most complex This approach seeks to answer six basic questions in gathering information about nearly any subject: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. Sometimes, depending on the context, a second “H” might be used: How Much. In journalism, news story writing requires that the questions to be answered take a basic form:
1. Who is it about?
2. What is it about?
3. When did it happen?
4. Where did it happen?
5. Why did it happen?
6. How did it happen?

Applying the 5W1H framework to other types of writing or investigation takes some interpretation. The order in which the answers to the questions is presented may vary, but the “what” is usually addressed first.

 Example :

What is your main idea  ?

Who is that person ?

When did it happen ?

Where is your house ?

Why did you do that ?

How is your mother ?

Pattern :

What /Who + Verb + subject + Verb  ?

Where/When/Why + Auxiliary + Subject + Verb ?

How + Auxiliary + Subject + Verb ?

2.    Yes/No Question

The yes-no question is found in three varieties: the inverted question, the typical exemplar of this kind; the inverted question offering an alternative (which may require more than a simple yes or no for an answer); and the tag question:

Example :
Are you going? (inversion)
Are you staying or going? (inversion with alternative)
You’re going, aren’t you? (tag)

Yes-no question can be made by changing the declarative sentence (statement). You have to know which one subject, the main verb (not followed by any verb), and helping / auxiliary verb (primary auxiliary verb / capital). 

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

In a tag question, the speaker makes a statement, but is not completely certain of the truth, so he or she uses a tag question to verify the previous statement. Sentences using tag questions should have the main clause separated from the tag by a comma. The sentence will always end a question mark.

Example:
1. There are only twenty-eight days in February, aren’t there?
2. It’s raining now, isn’t it?
3. The boys don’t have class tomorrow, do they?

Pattern :

Linking Verb “be” / Auxiliary Verb +/- Not + Pronoun
