Auxiliary verbs and questions

Remember: the more practice you have, the better you will speak to foreigners and understand them.

b) alternative questions:

c) special questions:

Special questions or Wh-questions begin with a question word such as Who, What, Which, Where, When, How long, How many (used with countable nouns) / How much (used with uncountable nouns).

There are two kinds of special questions:

- to a subject (Who/What is asked to the third person singular after he, she, it; a question doesn’t need any auxiliary verb);

- to any other word (a question needs an auxiliary verb).

d) disjunctive / ortag, / or tail questions:

Disjunctive question consists of two parts: a sentence + a question tail (чи не так?)
