Cara Membuat Pertanyaan Yes/ No Question dalam Bahasa Inggris

Yes/ No question merupakan salah satu jenis pertanyaan yang sering ditemui dalam bahasa Inggris. Pertanyaan ini memiliki jawaban yang selalu dimulai dengan perkataan Yes atau No. Jawaban Yes/ No digunakan apabila dalam pertanyaan digunakan kata awal seperti Copula (kata kerja gabung) dan Auxiliary Verb  (kata kerja bantu)  yaitu Am, Is, are, Was, Were, Do, Does, Did, Have, Has, Had, Can, May, Must, Shall, Will, Should, dan Would.

Untuk pertanyaan dalam bentuk Present Tense, maka menggunakan kata kerja bantu Do atau Does, dan untuk bentuk Past tense, maka menggunakan kata bantu Did. 

Penggunaan nama diri seperti Mira, Alia, Farah, Numa, the teachers, the boys, the girls, maka kata- kata tersebut dapat menggunakan kata Kata Ganti Orang (he, she, it, they) sebagai subject dan kata ganti him, her, it atau them sebagai objek dalam jawaban. 

Jika kata I yang digunakan dalam pertanyaan, maka kata tersebut akan berubah menjadi you dalam jawaban, sedangkan pertanyaan yang menggunakan kata "you", maka jawabannya akan menjadi "I". Begitu pula kata "my" dalam pertanyaan, maka akan menjadi kata "your" dalam jawaban dan sebaliknya.

Jawaban Yes atau No tidak dapat digunakan untuk pertanyaan yang bersifat pilihan yang ditandai dengan kata "or"meskipun menggunakan kata kerja bantu sebagai kata awal.
