Grammar
Yes/No questions
• These questions need either a Yes or No answer.
• We form a Yes/No question with an auxiliary verb (be, do or have) or with a modal verb. We put the auxiliary verb or modal verb before the subject.
Example:
- Are you eating moon cakes? Yes, I am.
- Did they eat moon cakes at the festival last year? No, they didn't.
- Can he eat all these moon cakes? Yes, he can.
• We don't use an auxiliary verb when we use be as a main verb.
Example:
Is that your Christmas present? Yes, it is.
