(NOUN CLAUSE)
NOUN CLAUSES A sentence which contains just one clause is called a simple sentence.
A sentence which contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses is called a complex sentence. (Dependent clauses are also called subordinate clauses.)
There are three basic types of dependent clauses: adjective clauses, adverb clauses, and noun clauses. (Adjective clauses are also called relative clauses.)
This page contains information about noun clauses. Also see Adjective Clauses and Adverb Clauses.

YES / NO QUESTION
Yes/no questions are asked using be, have, do, or a modal verb. Yes/no questions always begin with one of these verbs and can be answered with a simple yes or no, or with the question repeated as a statement.
Note: It's impossible to ask a yes/no question without one of these auxiliary verbs.
Does he want a car? | |
Are you going to eat with us? |
BE
Use the verb be to ask about identity, description, location, and present or past activities and situations.

You can use be plus a noun or adjective to ask about the identity or description of a person, place, or thing.

Is this interesting? | No (it is not). |

Current activity / situation
To ask about a current activity or situation, use the present progressive: present tense of be + present participle (verb+ing).

Past event
To ask about something that happened to someone or something, use the passive voice: past tense of be + past participle (verb + ed or en):

Were you driven home in a taxi? | Yes (we were). |

HAVE
Use the verb have to ask if some action has taken place or whether somebody has done something.
Notice that the auxiliary verb have is in the present tense* and the main verb is always a past participle.

Have you flown before? | Yes (I have). |
Has the party started? | Yes (it has). |
Have the guests eaten? | No (they haven't). |
*It is possible to ask a yes/no question with had, but this is done in very specific situations and will be explained in a future lesson.
DO
Use the verb do to obtain facts about people, places, or things.
Do is always followed by the subject and then a verb in the infinitive without to.

MODALS
Use modal verbs to obtain more information about possibilities or uncertainties.
Modals are always followed by verbs in the infinitive without to.

Could this be true? | Yes (it could be true). |
Should they stop? | No (they shouldn't). |
May I help you? | Yes (you may). |

Remember: When asking a question with do or a modal verb, the main verb remains in the infinitive without to.
Incorrect | Correct |

Does she work here? | |
Can I go with you? | |

However, if there are two verbs in the infinitive after do, the second infinitive must use to.

Remember: It's impossible to ask a yes/no question without an auxiliary verb.
