Answer:
With an auxiliary verb
We form yes-no questions with an auxiliary verb (be, do or have) + subject + main verb or with a modal verb + subject + main verb:
Be: Is she working very hard?
Were they travelling together?
Do: Does that taste okay?
Did you go to the concert?
Have: Have they eaten yet?
Had they visited Rome before?
Modal: Could you help me lift this?
Should I open the window?
Where there is no auxiliary verb be, have or modal verb already present in the statement, we use the auxiliary do, does, did:
Statement form (no auxiliary)
Question form
You usually walk to work.
Do you usually walk to work?
Not: Walk you…?
You liked disco music in the 70s.
Did you like disco music in the 70s?
Not: Liked you…?
We don’t use an auxiliary verb when we use be as a main verb:
Is she your sister?
Not: Does she be your sister?
Warning:
When there is more than one auxiliary verb or a modal verb plus auxiliary verb(s), we only put the first auxiliary or the modal verb before the subject and the others after the subject:
Auxiliary + subject + auxiliary + verb
Is this phone call being recorded?
Not: Is being this phone call recorded? or Is being recorded this phone call?
Auxiliary + subject + auxiliary + verb
Has the garden been looked after while you were away?
Not: Has been the garden looked after while you were away? or Has been looked after the garden while you were away?
Modal + subject + auxiliary + auxiliary + verb
Should we have been writing this down?
Not: Should have we been writing this down?
We only put auxiliary and modal verbs, not main verbs, before the subject:
Where did you find the keys?
Not: Where did find you the keys?

Be
Have
Without an auxiliary verb
When we ask yes-no questions using the main verb be, we don’t use an auxiliary verb. The word order is: be + subject:
Is the weather nice in Turkey in the winter?
Was she angry when you told her about the accident?
When we ask yes-no questions with the main verb have, we can also use the word order verb + subject, but it sounds rather formal. We use have got and do as more neutral or informal alternatives:
Have you an identity card? (formal)
Do you have an identity card? (neutral)
Have you got an identity card? (informal)
Warning:
When we ask questions with the main verb have in the past to refer to possession, we use did … have rather than had … got:
Did you have your glasses with you when you left the car?
Had you got your glasses with you when you left the car? (less common)
Responding to yes-no questions
Other ways of saying yes and no include yeah, yep, mm, okay, and nah, nope. These are informal:
A:
Would you like to play tennis with me later?
B:
Okay. (meaning yes)
A:
Have you seen Greg?
B:
Nope. (meaning no)
We can also give more than just a yes or no answer. We sometimes add more information:
A:
Can I grow potatoes in a pot?
B:
Yeah. They grow really well in pots.
A:
Will you be going to Ryan’s party?
B:
No. I’m actually going to be away on Friday night.
Sometimes we don’t use yes or no as a reply but the answer that we give means yes or no:
A:
Do you know Tina Gomez?
B:
We’ve known each other for years. We went to the same school. (meaning yes)
A:
Do you have the Thrills latest album?
B:
I’m afraid we’ve just sold the last one! (meaning no)
We sometimes respond using the auxiliary verb from the question instead of yes and no:
A:
Hey Tim, did you go fishing today?
B:
I did. I went with the boys.
A:
Has Jason had breakfast?
B:
He hasn’t. He’s still in bed.
Negative yes-no questions
We usually use negative yes-no questions to check or confirm something we believe or expect to be the case, or when we consider that something is the best thing to do:
Isn’t that Pauline’s car? (I’m pretty sure that this is correct. I’m asking for confirmation.)
Shouldn’t we be leaving? (I think that we should leave now.)
We form negative yes-no questions with not. We usually use the contraction n’t. If we use not in its full form, the question sounds very formal:
Isn’t that the oldest building on this street?
Warning:
When using the full form not, the order auxiliary + subject (s) + not is more common than auxiliary + not + subject:
[AUX][s]
Is that
[not]
not the oldest building in this street? (formal) (preferred to [the very formal] Is not that the oldest building on this street?)
We can use negative yes-no questions to make invitations, offers and complaints stronger:
Won’t you stay for dinner? (invitation; stronger than Will you stay for dinner?)
Wouldn’t you like another coffee? (offer; stronger than Would you like another coffee?)
Can’t the manager do something about the noise? (complaint; stronger than Can the manager do something about the noise?)
