Yes / No Questions

Overview

This practical A1–A2 lesson set helps elementary students master one of the most essential building blocks of spoken English: Yes/No Questions. Students learn how to correctly use auxiliary verbs (Do, Does, Did), modal verbs (Can), and verb Be inversion (Are you…? / Were you…?), while replacing blunt one-word answers with polite spoken short answers.
