Day 30 - 30 Hari Mahir Bahasa Inggris dari NOL

Summary

In this final lesson of the 30-day English course, the instructor, Satriaani, discusses the importance of question formation in English communication. The focus is on two types of questions: Yes-No questions, which require a simple 'yes' or 'no' response, and Informative questions, which require detailed answers. The lesson explains the structure of both question types, emphasizing the use of auxiliary verbs and question words (like 'who', 'what', 'where', 'why') to construct accurate questions. This session wraps up the course with key insights on mastering basic English speaking and conversational skills.

Takeaways

• 😀 **Yes-No Questions** require a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer. Examples: 'Are you a student?'
• 😀 **Informative Questions** ask for more detailed information, requiring answers beyond 'yes' or 'no'. Examples: 'What is your name?'
• 😀 **Yes-No Questions** begin with auxiliary verbs like 'do', 'does', 'is', 'are', 'have', 'had'. Example: 'Do you go to school?'
• 😀 **Informative Questions** are formed by adding question words like 'who', 'what', 'where', 'when', 'why', 'how' to the start of Yes-No questions. Example: 'Why do you work every day?'
• 😀 **Common Auxiliary Verbs**: 'Do' for present simple, 'Are' for present continuous, 'Have' for present perfect, and 'Did' for past simple.
• 😀 **Order of Words**: In Yes-No Questions, the auxiliary verb comes before the subject. Example: 'Do you go to school?'
• 😀 **Question Words**: 'Who' for asking about people, 'What' for things or actions, 'Where' for places, 'When' for time, 'Why' for reasons, and 'How' for methods.
• 😀 **Common Mistakes**: The order of words in questions can be confusing. Correct order for informative questions is important: 'When will you go?' (not 'When you will go?').
• 😀 **Simple Present Tense**: For asking questions like 'Do you go to school?', do not use auxiliary verbs like 'does' or 'is' in questions involving 'who'. Example: 'Who works every day?'
• 😀 **Forming Informative Questions**: Simply take a Yes-No Question and add the appropriate question word at the start to turn it into an informative question. Example: 'Do you study every day?' becomes 'Why do you study every day?'

Q & A

What are the two types of questions discussed in the script?

The two types of questions discussed are Yes-No questions and Informative questions.

How is a Yes-No question typically formed in English?

A Yes-No question is formed by using an auxiliary verb (e.g., do, is, are, have) followed by the subject and the main verb.

What is the key difference between Yes-No questions and Informative questions?

Yes-No questions expect a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer, while Informative questions require specific information as an answer, and they begin with a question word.

What are some examples of Yes-No questions?

Examples of Yes-No questions include: 'Are you a student?' and 'Do you go to school every day?'

What type of answer is expected for an Informative question?

An Informative question requires a detailed or descriptive answer, not just 'yes' or 'no'. For example, 'What is your name?' requires the name as an answer.

How do you form an Informative question?

An Informative question is formed by placing a question word (e.g., What, Where, Why) at the beginning, followed by the appropriate auxiliary verb, subject, and main verb.

What are the most common question words used to form Informative questions?

The most common question words are: Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How.

What is a common mistake when forming Informative questions?

A common mistake is the incorrect order of words, such as saying 'What you are eating?' instead of 'What are you eating?'

What does the word 'Who' indicate in a question?

'Who' is used to ask about a person or subject in a question, such as 'Who is coming to the party?'

What is the correct form of the question: 'When you will go?'

The correct form is 'When will you go?' because in Informative questions, the auxiliary verb 'will' should come before the subject 'you'.
