YES/NO Questions

When we ask a yes/no question in the future form, we need to move

the “will” to the beginning of the

sentence…..

Examples:

She will clean her room.

Will she clean her room?

YES ,NO ,

she willshe will not

Now turn these statements into yes/no

questions…

He will run at the competition.

I will be a good girl.

WH questions.…

To create a WH question in the future form, we have to add the WH word in the beginning….

We take the form of the yes/no question and add a WH word in front of it….

Yes/No question:

Will she clean her room tomorrow?

Wh question:

How will she clean her room tomorrow?

WH word YES/NO question
