Statements can be changed into questions. When we convert a statement into a question, we have to make some changes.\u00a0 One way of doing this is to change the word order by putting the verb at the beginning of the sentence and then adding a question mark at the end, like this:<\/p>\n
“He is interested in animals.”<\/em><\/p>\n becomes<\/p>\n “Is he interested in animals?”<\/em><\/p>\n Sometimes, you need to change the verb and add an extra word to make a question, like this:<\/p>\n “They enjoyed the ballet.”<\/em><\/p>\n becomes<\/p>\n “Did<\/strong> they enjoy<\/strong> the ballet?”<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For some practise, try changing these statements into questions:<\/p>\n 1. The bus is going to the station.<\/p>\n 2. You get enough exercise.<\/p>\n 3. This train stops at Central Station.<\/p>\n 4. He loves to eat chocolate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now try to change these questions into statements:<\/p>\n 1. Can we walk to school?<\/p>\n 2. Will we arrive late?<\/p>\n 3. Did you catch your train?<\/p>\n 4. Was he cycling in all that rain?<\/p>\n 5. Do they have a cat?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget that you will need to read through your questions and statements to ensure that they make sense and do not require any extra changes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
