Are you wondering how to form questions in English with correct grammar? Well today I'm going to teach you a simple method for asking questions in almost ALL the verb tenses!
I think you'll find this lesson very helpful, and I've made a free lesson guide available for you to download. It also includes a quiz so you can practice forming questions.
All right, let's take a look at this question formation formula. I like to remember it with the acronym QUASM, and that stands for
- QU estion word
- A uxiliary verb (also called the helping verb)
- S ubject
- M ain verb
Reported questions, indirect questions, and subject questions also do not follow QUASM. Click on each link for my lesson on those topics!
