Question : 

Section 4 - Language Focus

a. Asking for Details of a Past Incident with Interrogative Questions

Before we can talk about a past incident, we must know details of the incident. We can collect the details by asking questions.. We can ask Interrogative (Yes/No) or Wh- questions. In this unit, we will focus on the Interrogative (Yes/No) questions.

One way to ask the ‘Yes/No’ questions is to use the auxiliary verb ‘Did’. The auxiliary is followed by a subject and the base form of the main verb. The other way to ask the ‘Yes/No’ questions is by using past tense to be: ‘was’ and ‘were’, when there is no main verb in the questions. We use ‘was’ for ‘He, She, It and I’, while ‘were’ for ‘They, We and You’.

Look at the examples in the following table. They are taken from the dialogue in Audio 4.1.
