1. Start with a Question Word (if applicable):
* Who, What, When, Where, Why, How - These words introduce questions that seek specific information.
* Example: "The dog is sleeping." --> "Where is the dog sleeping?"
* If - Use "if" for yes/no questions.
* Example: "He is happy." --> "If he is happy."
2. Inversion:
* Invert the subject and the verb:
* Example: "The birds are singing." --> "Are the birds singing?"
* Use "do" or "does" for questions in the present tense:
* Example: "She likes pizza." --> "Does she like pizza?"
* Use "did" for questions in the past tense:
* Example: "They went to the store." --> "Did they go to the store?"
3. Add a question mark at the end.
Examples:
* Declarative: The cat is on the mat.
* Question: Is the cat on the mat?
* Declarative: They ate breakfast.
* Question: Did they eat breakfast?
* Declarative: She is a doctor.
* Question: What is she?
* Declarative: He went to the park yesterday.
* Question: When did he go to the park?
