疑问句是问一些事情的，可分为：一般疑问句和特殊疑问句选择疑问句和反意疑问句。
一、一般疑问句
一般疑问句也可称为 “yes ／ no questions”，因这种问句通常用yes ／ no来回答，相当于汉语中的“……吗？”其语序是：系动词ｂｅ ／ 助动词／ 情态动词＋主语＋其他成分？如：
Are you from Japan﹖
Yes I am． ／ No I'm not．
Is her sister doing her homework now﹖
Yes she is． ／ No she isn't．
Does he work in a bank﹖
Yes he does． ／ No he doesn't．
Do you live near your school﹖
Yes I do． ／ No I don't．
Can you speak French﹖
Yes I can． ／ No I can't．
May I go home now﹖
Yes you may． ／ No you mustn't．
注意：
１．将陈述句变为一般疑问句时，如句中有be 动词（am is are …）时，可直接将它们提至主语前。如主语为第一人称，应将其改为第二人称。如：
I'm in Class ２Grade １． →
Are you in Class ２Grade １﹖
We're watching TV． →
Are you watching TV﹖
２．陈述句中有情态动词（can may must …）时，也可直接将它们提至主语前，即可成为一般疑问句。如：
He can swim now． →
Can he swim now﹖
The children may come with us． → May the children come with us﹖
３．陈述句中只有一个实义动词作谓语且其时态为一般现在时，变为一般疑问句时要在句首加do或does 主语后的实义动词用原形。如：
I like these animals． →
Do you like these animals﹖
She wants to go to the movies． → Does she want to go to the movies﹖
４．一般疑问句一般读升调(↑)
５．一般疑问句有时不用yes或 no 回答。如：
Are they in town now﹖
I think so.
May I sit here﹖
Certainly．
Does he like soccer﹖
Sorry I don't know．
二、特殊疑问句
以疑问词开头，对句中某一成分提问的句子叫特殊疑问句。常用的疑问词有：what who whose which when where how why等。
特殊疑问句有两种语序：
１．如疑问词作主语或主语的定语，即对主语或主语的定语提问，其语序是陈述句的语序：疑问词（＋主语）＋谓语动词＋其他成分？如：
who is singing in the room﹖
whose bike is broken﹖
２．如疑问词作其他成分，即对其他成分提问，其语序是：疑问词＋一般疑问句语序？如：
what class are you in﹖
What does she look like﹖
Where are you from﹖
What time does he get up every morning﹖
How do you know﹖
注意：
１．回答特殊疑问句时，不能用yes ／ no，即问什么答什么，尤其是简略回答。如：
Who is from Canada﹖
Helen (is)．
Where's the restaurant﹖
Near the station．
Why do you like koalas﹖
Because they are cute．
２．特殊疑问句一般读降调(↓)。
一般疑问句是疑问句的一种。它是指用yes或no来回答的句子。其结构是：
系动词be/助动词/情态动词＋主语＋其他成分?
如:
Is this your pen?
Yes it is./No it isn't.
注意：
１．将陈述句变为一般疑问句时，如句中有be 动词（am is are …）时，可直接将它们提至主语前。如主语为第一人称，应将其改为第二人称。如：
I'm in Class ２Grade １． →
Are you in Class ２Grade １﹖
