Quiz Introduction
Asking the right questions is one of the most powerful tools you can use to communicate effectively in English. Whether you are meeting someone for the first time, gathering information, confirming details, or simply engaging in conversation, knowing how to form questions properly is key to expressing yourself clearly and understanding others.
This test is designed for ESL learners who want to check their understanding of the three major types of English interrogative structures: Yes/No questions, WH-questions, and Tag questions.
Let’s briefly review, or eventually check the full lesson here:
1. Yes/No Questions require a simple answer: either “yes” or “no.” These questions usually start with an auxiliary verb such as do, does, is, are, can, will, or have. Example: “Do you like pizza?”
2. WH-Questions begin with words like what, where, when, why, who, which, whose, or how. These questions require more detailed answers. They are used to gather information rather than just confirm it. Example: “Where do you live?”
3. Tag Questions are short questions added to the end of a sentence, usually to confirm or check information. The tag has the opposite polarity of the statement: if the statement is positive, the tag is negative, and vice versa. Example: “It’s cold today, isn’t it?”
Each of these question types has its own rules and structure. Mixing them up or forming them incorrectly can lead to confusion, misunderstandings, or even complete communication breakdowns.
The purpose of this quiz is to help reinforce your learning and ensure you are confident in:
Identifying the different types of questions
Knowing when and how to use them
Forming grammatically correct questions
Each question in this test has four answer options, but only one is correct. After each question, an explanation will help clarify why that answer is right.
Take your time, think carefully about the structure and function of each sentence, and use what you’ve learned from the article. Whether you’re preparing for an English test, trying to improve your speaking skills, or just want to communicate more naturally, mastering questions will take your English to the next level.
