Question

The formation of interrogative sentences in English requires the use of auxiliary verbs and specific word order variations depending on the type of information requested. Mark the CORRECT alternative.

Accepted Answer

D) In "Wh-questions" where the interrogative word functions as the subject of the sentence, the auxiliary verb "do/does/did" is not used, and the main verb follows the affirmative conjugation.

Answer

A) The formation of "Yes/No questions" with the verb "to be" in the simple present requires the mandatory use of the auxiliary "do" at the beginning of the phrase to indicate the interrogative mood.

Answer

B) Tag questions used after an affirmative sentence must always be affirmative as well, to reinforce the speaker's absolute certainty about the statement being made.

Answer

C) Indirect questions maintain the same word order as direct questions, including the inversion of the subject and the auxiliary verb, to preserve the formal tone of the request. 11

Answer

E) When a question ends with a preposition, such as in "Who are you talking to?", it is considered a serious grammatical error that must be avoided in any formal or academic context.
