Statements into questions
Change statements into questions
A sentence that tells us something is a statement. In modern English, auxiliaries are the only verbs which can be put before the subject of a sentence to form questions.
- He is a good fellow.
- Is he a good fellow?
- They have won the race.
- Have they won the race?
- The cat will kill the mice.
- Will the cat kill the mice?
In the case of other verbs, the auxiliaries do and its forms (does and did) have to be used before the subject.
- John enjoys playing tennis. (statement)
- Does John enjoy playing tennis? (question)
- Sharon makes models from clay.
- Does Sharon make models from clay?
- Alice goes to school by train.
- Does Alice go to school by train?
- The children practise the violin each morning.
- Do the children practise the violin each morning?
- Our team played well yesterday.
- Did our team play well yesterday?
- He fell from the ladder.
- Did he fall from the ladder?
- They went to Mumbai.
- Did they go to Mumbai?
- She likes to see pictures.
- Does she like to see pictures?
- They make good cheese.
- Do they make good cheese?
Exercise 2 Changing statements into questions
Exercise 4 QUESTION WORDS - WH QUESTIONS
Exercise 6 Ask for the underlined part
Rewrite in Negative.
The following examples show some ways to make a sentence negative in the present tense.
- Sentence: My guests are arriving now. Negative: My guests are not arriving now.
- Sentence: Jennie has money. Negative: Jennie has no money.
The contraction n’t :
- Sentence: Janetta kisses her mom. Negative: Janetta doesn’t kiss her mom.
Notice that when forming a negative in the present tense, the helping verb does is what signals the 3rd person singular, and the main verb "kiss" does not have an -es ending.
- Sentence: Paul called me yesterday. Negative: Paul did not call me yesterday.
- Sentence: Jamilee went to the grocery store. Negative: Jamilee didn´t go to the grocery store.
- Sentence: Gina laughed when she saw the huge pile of laundry. Negative: Gina did not laugh when she saw the huge pile of laundry.

Look at these examples:

Notice the use of the preposition of time at in the following standard expressions:

|---|---|
| at night | The stars shine at night. |
| at the weekend* | I don't usually work at the weekend. |
| at Christmas*/Easter | I stay with my family at Christmas. |
| at the same time | We finished the test at the same time. |

Notice the use of the prepositions of time in and on in these common expressions:

| in the afternoon(s) | on Sunday afternoons |
| in the evening(s) | on Monday evening |
Let´s practice now:
Should - Must - Have to
Should - Must- Have to
SHOULD - MUST - HAVE TO
We can use have to + infinitive, must + infinitive and should + infinitiveto express obligation (something you have to do).
| Present | Positive | Negative |
| have to / don't have to | strong obligation (possibly from outside)
| no obligation
|
| must / mustn't | strong obligation (possibly based on the speaker's opinion)
| negative obligation (VERY STRONG)
|
| should / shouldn't | mild obligation or advice
| mild negative obligation or advice
|
Be careful about the difference between mustn't and don't have to!
Mustn't means it's not allowed, or it's a bad idea:
Mustn't means it's not allowed, or it's a bad idea:
- You mustn't eat so much chocolate, you'll be sick
- I don't have to get up early at the weekend(of course, if I want to get up early, that's fine, but I can stay in bed if I want).
| Past | Positive | Negative |
| had to / didn't have to | obligation in the past
| no obligation in the past
|
| must* | changes to 'had to' | - |
| should have + pp / shouldn't have + pp | a past action which didn't happen: the advice / regret is too late
| a past action which didn't happen: the advice / regret is too late
|
* Remember 'must have done' is a modal verb of deduction or speculation, not obligation in the past. For example: Julie must have left. Her coat's not here.
