We can form questions that require a yes or no answer with different forms of the verbs be (am/is/are/was/were), have (have/ has/ had), do (do/does/did) and helping verbs like will, would, shall, should, can or could. Questions formed with the helping verbs will, would, shall, should, can or could and do/does/did use the basic form of the main verb. When we form a question, we usually change the order of the words and place the verb first. In most questions with helping verbs, the subject comes between the helping verb and the main verb. A. Underline the main verbs in these questions. 1. Has Mike seen the eagle? 2. Have you tried seafood? 3. Are you sleeping? 4. Will you play football today? 5. Should I help you pack? B. Form a question for each answer. 1. Unit 6: Nuclear Disaster! 33 Yes, it was a beautiful place. 2. Yes, Myra has chosen two books. 3. No, I won’t drink coffee. 4.
