Questions

There are three ways to form questions:

1.	A question can start with a question word such a what, who, where, when, why or how and the verb is put before the subject . Example: When do you do? Where is my umbrella? If the the question word itself is the subject, the verb is put after the subject. Example:
2.	Do, does or did are put before the subject which is followed by the infinitive of the verb without "to" . Example: Do you go to school? Does he want an ice-cream? Did she miss the train?
3.	Do, does or did are not used with the following auxiliary verbs (including modal auxiliaries): am, are, is, was, were; can, could; have, has, had; may, might, must, need; shall, should; will, would. The verb is put before the subject. Example: Can I help you? Are you mad? May I go home?
