Study Notes
- The text is about question forms in English Language Teaching by Murad Othman in the College of Nursing.
- There are five types of questions: subject questions, close-ended questions, open-ended questions, tag questions, and affirmative intonation questions.
- Subject questions ask about subjects using question words "what" (for non-personal subjects) and "who" (for personal subjects).
- Close-ended questions always begin with an auxiliary verb and have "yes/no" answers with a subject and auxiliary verb.
- Open-ended questions are unpredictable and often begin with "what," "when," "where," "why," modal verbs, and "how many/much" + subject + base + "S."
- Tag questions are added to statements to ask for confirmation or agreement, with an affirmative statement followed by a negative tag question.
- Affirmative intonation questions are used in spoken language to ask for information without using traditional question forms.
- "How long" and "how much time" questions are often used with present perfect tense and ask about time duration.
