Yes/No questions

Yes / No questions are also called closed questions because there are only two possible responses: Yes or No .

When forming a Yes / No question, it must include one of these verbs: BE, DO, HAVE, or a modal verb. It is impossible to ask a Yes / No question without one of these verbs.

Yes/No questions structure

Auxiliary + noun/pronoun + verb

Examples:Are + you + leaving?Is + Ahmad + here?Do + you + work?

Use the verb BE to ask Yes / No questions about the identity or description of a person, place, or thing.

Response Question

Yes. / Yes, you are. / Yes, you are my friend.

Am I your friend?

No. / No, it isn’t. / No, it is not a good restaurant.

Is this a good restaurant?

No. / No, they aren’t. / No, my ideas are not interesting.

Are your ideas interesting?

Yes. / Yes, she’s. / Yes, she is happy.

Is she happy?

2 .Possessive “s”

When we want to show that something belongs to somebody or something, we usually add an apostrophe + s ('s) to a singular noun and an apostrophe (') to a plural noun, for example:

the boy's ball (one boy)the boys' ball (two or more boys)

Examples

More than one ball

One ball

The boy’s balls The boy’s ball One boy

The boys’ balls The boys’ ball More than one boy

Proper Nouns (Names)

We very often use possessive 's with names:

This is Mary's car.Where is Ram's telephone?Who took Anthony's pen?I like Tara's hair.

When a name ends in s, we usually treat it like any other singular noun, and add 's:

This is Charles's chair.

Possessive “s” Irregular Plurals

Some nouns have irregular plural forms without s (man → men). To show possession, we usually add 's to the plural form of these nouns:

Plural noun Singular noun

My children's dog My child's dog

The men's work The man's work

The mice's cage The mouse's cage

People's clothes A person's clothes

Adjective + noun

An adjective is a word that modifies a noun to tell you more about it.

Adjectives never change. They are never plural.For example-:

This is a nice cake.

Adjectives go before their nouns.

They're nice people.I have a small house.She is a beautiful lady.
