Questions

• Sentences that ask something — end with ?
• Wh- questions: who, what, where, when, why, how.
• Yes/no questions: Do you like mangoes?
• Auxiliary verbs (is, are, do, can) often start questions.

Level 1 — Core idea

Verbal: You want an answer: 'What is your name?'

Symbolic: Wh-word + auxiliary + subject + verb + ?

Visual: Question mark shaped hook — pulls an answer.

Level 2 — Going deeper

Raise voice at end in speech. What asks thing; where asks place. Don't use full stop with question.
