5 different questions in English. Types of questions in English
We ask questions every day. For example, we often ask:
- How are you doing?
"What did you do yesterday?"
- Who goes to the store?
"Are you going to the cafe or not?"
Anyone who teaches English should know how to form questions, because without them you can't communicate. There are 5 types of questions in English.
In the article I will explain how they differ from each other in their use and how they are formed.
The word "special" means "only intended for something". Accordingly, this question is necessary to find the specific information you are interested in. Therefore, it is called special, i.e. you want to clarify specific information.
For example
Where do you want to relax?
we can find out specific information - where a person is going.
How to construct a custom question?
The following question is asked using the words:
• what - what
• where - where, where
• when - when, when
• who is who
• why - why
• how (how much / often / long) - how (many / often / long).
A special question is being built according to the scheme:
Question mark + auxiliary verb + mark + done?
Examples

Topic question in English
topic calls what or what the sentence is talking about.
A query asks with question words who or what replaces the actor or subject specified in the subject proposition. For example
Who cares about you?
therefore, we ask this question when we do not know who performed the action or had a sign.
How to construct a topic question?
A distinctive feature of this issue is the order of words in the sentence. in this type of question the word order never changes and continues as in an affirmative sentence. The scheme of such an offer will be as follows:
Who + act?
For example, we have affirmative sentences
They played tennis.
They played tennis.
we just substitute who for the question word
Who played tennis?
Who played tennis?
At the same time, we imagine who the single person in question is (he, she). Therefore, the sentence should be constructed in the same way who / what replaces he / she.
For example, we have an offer
They were in the car.
They were in the car.
If asked, we forget about them and imagine him in his place, so those who were in his place
Who was in the car?
Who was in the car?
Examples
Who likes to sing?
who likes to sing?
What was in the box?
What was in the box?
Who is the doctor?
Who is the doctor?

Alternative questions in English

True to its name, this question offers an alternative, a choice. we ask him and give the interlocutor two options to choose from.

An example
Flying to England or Germany?
In such a question, there is always a trade union or (or). The question itself is structured as a general question, at the end of which we or with our help make a choice.
Alternative question formulation scheme:
auxiliary verb + sign + completed action + _ or _?
Examples
Does it mean they go to the park or to the cinema?
Do they go to the park or the cinema?
Did you buy apples or pears?
Did you buy apples or pears?
Does it work or study?
Does he work or study?

Separation questions in English
This type of question is also called a "tail question". Such a question indicates a doubt or a desire to confirm something.
For example
You already packed your suitcase, right?
because its separation consists of 2 parts separated by commas.
The first part is constructed in the form of affirmative or negative sentences with the usual word order.
The second part (the "tail") is like a short question. It consists of:
• auxiliary verb (depending on the time taken in the first part);
• the actor used in the first part (I, he, she, he, they, we, us).

We translate such a "tail" into Russian as "it's not" / "it's not like that".

1. If the first part of the sentence is positive, the second part is rejected.
Affirmative sentence + auxiliary verb + not (in abbreviated form) + sign?
examples
He called you yesterday, didn't he?
He called you yesterday, right?
They play tennis every weekend, don't they?
They play tennis every weekend, right? Examples
So we have divided all five types of questions in English. now let's get into practice.
Assignment task

There are 5 types of questions in English.
You will learn from the article:
Classification of questions
The following five types can be distinguished:
• Wh-questions or Special questions - questions related to the topic;
• General questions - general questions;
• Disjunctive questions or other question tags - separation questions;
• Alternative questions - alternative questions;
• Questions with pre-conditions at the end.
Which questions or special questions or special questions
The first type is special questions, in English they are Wh-questions or Special questions. Sometimes they are also called subject matter. A special question always begins with a question word, such as what, who, when, why, where (What? Who? When? Why? Where?).
when did you come home (When did you come home?)
Why don't you believe me? (Why don't you believe me?)
All these questions start WHso special questions are called Questions. R question words of this question type are also used how, how much, how long (How? How much? How long?).
how much should we pay? (How much should we pay?)
If a specific question begins with who/what, the word order in the question is direct because the question word changes the subject.
Who is your doctor? (Who is your doctor?)
in this case, who / what is taken as the 3rd person, units. number
If the interrogative word in a special question does not replace the subject, it is followed by an auxiliary verb (do, will, did, have, etc.).
Compare:
Who is standing there? (Who is worth it there?)
who did you talk to (Who did you talk to?)
General questions (general questions)
They are called general because the answer to such a question can be "yes" or "no".
Second name yes/no questions for general questions. A general question begins with an auxiliary verb. after that, the subject or subject of the sentence, then the semantic verb. The small members of the judgment go to the end.

Do you see me? ( Do you see me?) - No, I don't know.

Are you there? ( Were you there?) - Yes, there is.
Will you be here when I'm gone? (Will you be here when I go?) - Yes, I will.
Thus, the answer to a general question consists of "yes" or "no" and sometimes an auxiliary verb.
But! Verbs in the present and past tenses do not require auxiliary verbs.
Is he your friend? (Is he your friend?) - No, he is not.
In the article "" I will talk more about these types of questions.
Separation (disjunctive questions)
The second name is question marks. A label is a type of tail placed after the entire sentence. these questions belong to the type of rejection - confirmation and vice versa.
The second part of the sentence must match what is included in the predicate.
You're good, aren't you? (You're good, right?)
He knows my real name, doesn't he? (He knows my real name, doesn't he?)
don't these people know me? (These people don't know me, do they?)
A label or a tail can be translated in many ways. Actually, the possible translations are: right? isn't it? right? but in the Russian translation, you can add the word "actually" in the middle of the sentence and not use the tail.

We are young, aren't we? (Are we young?)
In such matters, the emphasis should fall on the second part.
In the article "" I will talk more about these types of questions.
alternative questions (alternative questions)
A distinctive feature of such issues is the existence of an "or" (or) trade union. Such a question cannot be answered in one word, you have to make a clear choice.
Are you going there by plane or car? (Do you want to go there by plane or by car?) - I will go there by plane.
Is she your wife or not? (Is she your wife or not?) - she is my wife.
In the article "" I will talk more about these types of questions.
Questions with prerequisites at the end
they could not be divided into a separate category, but their composition is distinguished by some features.
If the semantic verb has a special prefix, put the prefix at the end. for example, to look for something (to look), to look (to look), to think (to think about something), to think (to think about someone), etc.
What are you looking at? (What are you looking at?)
What are you looking for? (What are you looking for?)
As the examples show, the preceding part has changed the meaning of the question.
What are you addicted to? (Who do you believe?)
Who are they thinking about? (who do you think)
use intonation to give English questions a different tone or to emphasize a single word.
According to the purpose of speaking English, there are three main sentences: declarative (declarative sentences), interrogative (interrogative) and imperative sentences. in this case, we are interested in interrogative sentences. Types of questions in English are distinguished as follows: general, alternative, topic-specific, special and divisive. Each type has its own characteristics, so we will consider each of them separately.
1.General question
A general question is asked for all proposals. You can answer it with "yes" or "no". Therefore, common questions in English are called "yes / no". It uses the reverse word order. first, there should be an auxiliary verb (auxiliary verb), then - a subject (subject), a predicate (predicate) and other members of the sentence.
To make the question grammatically correct, an auxiliary verb is needed (Past) - did. if a verb that must (or must) is used as a predicate in a sentence, they perform an auxiliary function. Examples:
• Does James smoke? - Does James smoke?
• Do you live in London now? - Do you live in London now?
• Did I look at your pictures? - May I see your pictures?

Short answers to common questions depend entirely on the auxiliary verb used. If the question begins with a verb, it must also be stated in the answer. For example:

• Does he like English poetry? - Yes, he does. "Does he like English poetry?" - Yes.
• Is this Ann playing the piano? - No, he is not. "Does Anna play the piano?" - No.
2. Alternative question
An alternative question in English involves a choice. It always has either (or) conjunction. the construction of this question is similar to the general question, but the choice proposition is still added here. Compare:
• Do you want to go to Warsaw by car? - Do you want to go to Warsaw by car?
• Do you want to go to Warsaw by car? or by train? - Do you want to go to Warsaw by car or by train?
• Is Kate buying shoes? - Katya wants to buy shoes?
• Kate wants to buy shoes or high boots? - Is Katya buying shoes or boots?
3. Question on the topic
when you put a question on the subject, the direct word order in the sentence does not change. You should use a suitable question word instead of a subject. Usually who (who), what (what) is used. It should be noted that the present simple verb is used in the third person singular form. Examples:
• Who lives in this old house? "Who lives in this old house?"
• Who is sending this letter? - Who will send?
• What caused the escape? - What caused the explosion?
4. Special question
Special questions in English are used to ask for specific information. they begin with who (who), what (what), which (which), when (when), where (where, where), why (why), how (how), how many / how many (how many). . after the question word, the order of words remains the same, in a general question, only the member of the questioning sentence should be removed. For example:
• What does Jane do on Sunday? "What does Jane do on Sunday?"
• Why are you sitting at my table? - Why are you sitting at my table?
• When did he borrow your car? - When did he take your car?
• How many paintings did they buy? - How many paintings did they buy?
Phrasal verbs are often found in English, meaning that there is a preposition closely related to the main verb in the sentence. This preposition is used at the very end of the sentence when it raises a specific question. For example:
• What are you busy with? - What are you busy with?
• Jack was waiting for? - Who was waiting for Jack?
5. Question for separation (disjunctive question).
In English, separating questions are combined with a short general question, often called a "tag", to express a positive or negative narrative sentence. This type of question is used to confirm, doubt, confirm what has been said. "Tail" itself is translated into Russian as "not this", "not like that".
When asking a question, the first part remains unchanged, in the second part, an auxiliary verb is placed at the beginning (it depends on the predicate in the first part), and then the nominative pronoun is as follows. if the sentence is positive, then the "tail" should be negative and vice versa. Examples:
• You have heard from him, haven't you? - Have you heard from him?
• Alex is the driver, isn't he? - Alex is the driver, isn't he?
• It's not Tom, is it? "It's Tom, isn't it?"
• Ann doesn't have a color TV, does she? - Ani doesn't have a color TV, right?
When considering this type of question, it should be noted that English separation questions have several nuances that are important to remember.
1. I am the first part requires the question I am not.
• I'm very tired, aren't I? "I'm so tired of everything, aren't I?"
2. Let's start with the first part, then in the second part we will use the question.
• Let's visit our grandmothers, shall we? - Let's visit our grandparents, okay?
3.if someone, no one, no one, no one, as well as everyone, everyone, someone, someone is used as a subject in the sentence, then in the second part the pronoun is used. they are For example:

• Didn't both of them prepare for the lesson? "None of them are prepared for class, are they?"

• Someone saw him, didn't they? - Someone saw him, right?
• Everyone liked your story, didn't they? "Everyone liked your story, right?"
• There are 5 types of questions in English. it will not be difficult to master them if you know the word order in short sentences and ask them general questions.
• 5 types of questions in English are sometimes confusing for students, students and English language learners. therefore, all types of interrogative sentences in English are covered here.
1. General questions
• In English, the general question is the simplest. This question has a yes or no answer. This is a general information question. so sometimes this question is called a yes/no question.
• It is formed by moving the auxiliary verb or modal verb to the first place in the sentence. Full rule:
• Auxiliary verb + subject + semantic verb + adverb
• The auxiliary verb depends on what time you want to ask:
• Past simple - taste
Present Simple - Do / Do
Future simple - will / will
Past continuous - was / was
Present Continuous - Am / Is / Are
Future continuous - will / will
Past perfect - was

BIG BOSS, [03.02.2023 18:09]

Present perfect - have / have
Future Perfect - Shall / Will + has an auxiliary verb after the subject
Past Perfect Continuous - Had + came as an auxiliary verb after the subject
Present Perfect Continuous - Have / Has + came as an auxiliary verb after the subject
Future Perfect Continuous - Shall / Will + were auxiliary verbs after the subject
Past Future - I would like to
• Answers to a general question can be short (Yes / No + subject and auxiliary or modal verb) and complete. Time remains the same. examples:
• Have you been to London? - Yes, I have (Yes, I have been to London). - Have you been to London? - Yes (I was in London).
• Did you buy this car? - Yes, I did (Yes, I bought this car). "Did you buy this car?" - Yes (I bought this car).
• Do they play football? - No, they don't (No, they don't play football). "Do they play football?" - No (they don't play football).
• Can you do it? - No, I couldn't (No, I couldn't do it). "Can you do it?" - No (no, I can).
• 2. Special questions
• A specific question is a question for additional information. This question always begins with a question word (except for the question words "who" and "whom"), which are used for questions.
The order of words in special questions is generally the same, but with one exception: the question word is placed before the auxiliary verb. Examples:
• What was the last time you visited in Kyiv? - What did you visit in Kiev recently?
• Where do they go? - Where are they going?
• How did you manage to get a ticket? - How did you get the tickets?
• 3. Subject question (Who ...? What ...?)
• If there is a need to ask a question about the topic, then use interrogative words who? and what the word order in the question is slightly different from the previous ones, because the subject itself is not used in relation to the subject. That is, the formula will be:
• Who / what + semantic verb + adverb
• Who is he? - Who is he?
• What is this? - What is this?
• 4. Alternative questions
• Includes two or more choices using an alternative question or word. The order of words in such a question is generally the same.
• Does he like coffee or tea? "Does he like coffee or tea?"
• Did he buy a motorcycle or a bicycle? "Did he buy a motorcycle or a bicycle?"

5. Questions about punctuation (disjunctive questions)

• A separation problem is so named because it is divided into two parts using a comma. The first part of the question is a statement, and the second part is a question for this statement. The purpose of the disambiguation question is to verify the correctness of the statement. These questions are often used in conversational speech when the interlocutor tries to find some information based on "inadvertent" evidence.
• Part 1 - Part of a disjunctive question is a typical affirmative sentence with the usual word order: subject - verb - object.
• Part 2 is an auxiliary verb in the tense specified in Part 1 and the subject. If we question approval, then there will be objections in 2 parts. if we construct a question from a negation, it becomes a statement.
• Example:
• You play tennis, don't you? - You play tennis, right?
• He goes to the gym, doesn't he? - He goes to the gym, right?
• Isn't Bill a celebrity? - Bill is not a famous person, is he?
• They haven't been to Paris, have they? - Weren't they in Paris?
• In such an interrogative sentence, the word order is direct (unchanged), and everything in the sentence remains in place. We simply remove the subject and use the appropriate question word instead: Who? What? (who - what). such a question in English does not require the use of auxiliary verbs, neither in the present nor in the past tense. In the future, auxiliary verbs can appear / appear, but they are a sign of clear tense and, as a rule, are not related to the question.

• There is only one caveat - in the present tense we use the verb in the third person and in the singular.
• Examples: What happened to us? - What happened to us? What makes you sad? - What makes you sad? Who will he invite as a guest? - Who invites the guests to the party
• 2general question (general question).
• This interrogative question in English means to ask a whole sentence. The answer to this question is yes and no. Therefore, such a question in English is also called a yes / no question. in this question, the word order is reversed and the auxiliary (to do, to do, to do, etc.) or modal verb first.
• Examples: Does she like knitting? - Does she like to knit? Do you play computer games? - Do you play computer games? is this his book - Is this his book? Note that the present and simple past tenses do not require any auxiliary verbs: Are you at home? "Are you at home?" Or was he at the cinema yesterday? - Was he at the theater yesterday?
• 3. Special question
• Such a feature of the question in English is that it can be asked of any member of the sentence. The word order is also changed and a series of question words are used to elicit the required information: What? - what ?; When? - when ?; Where? - where?; What for? - why; Which one? - which one? and others.
• Examples: Where do you want to move? - Where do you want to move? What would you like to study? -What would be the study you want? When did you leave home? -When did you leave home?
• 4. Alternative question
• We ask any member of the proposition, but the feature of this interrogative proposition is two objects, persons, qualities, actions, etc. is a choice between In such a matter, the union or - will definitely be involved. examples: They finished writing the article at 17.00. -They finished writing the article in 5 evenings. Did they finish writing the article in the morning or in the evening? - Did they finish writing the article in the morning or in the evening? do they finish writing or reading the article? -Did they finish writing or read the article?
• 5. Question for separation (tag-question / disjunctive question).

• When expressing such interrogative sentences in English, a person tries to confirm, surprise, confirm what was said. The analogue of this number in Russian is the circle, isn't it?, isn't it?.such a question consists of two parts: the first is the sentence itself, in general, the word order is not changed and the speech itself is without interrogative parts; the second is a short question in which an auxiliary or modal verb appears in the predicate of the first part.

• There are two ways to form such a question in English: an affirmative sentence, a short negative question; proposition is negative, short question is positive.
• Examples: My mother prefers meat to fish, doesn't she? "Mother prefers meat to fish, doesn't she?" I'm a pessimist, aren't I? - I'm a pessimist, aren't I? You cook this dish, don't you? - You cook this food, right? He doesn't go to church, does he? - He doesn't go to church, does he?
• Here you can find all questions in English. by studying their construction methods, you can easily form English interrogative sentences for any sentence.
Professions
A profession is a field of work that has been successfully professionalized.^[1] It can be defined as a disciplined group of individuals, professionals, who adhere to ethical standards and who hold themselves out as, and are accepted by the public as possessing special knowledge and skills in a widely recognised body of learning derived from research, education and training at a high level, and who are prepared to apply this knowledge and exercise these skills in the interest of others.^[2][3]
Professional occupations are founded upon specialized educational training, the purpose of which is to supply disinterested objective counsel and service to others, for a direct and definite compensation, wholly apart from expectation of other business gain.^[4] Medieval and early modern tradition recognized only three professions: divinity, medicine, and law,^[5][6] which were called the learned professions.^[7] A profession is not a trade^[8] and not an industry.^[9]
Some professions change slightly in status and power, but their prestige generally remains stable over time, even if the profession begins to have more required study and formal education.^[10] Disciplines formalized more recently, such as architecture, now have equally long periods of study associated with them.^[11]
Although professions may enjoy relatively high status and public prestige, not all professionals earn high salaries, and even within specific professions there exist significant differences in salary. In law, for example, a corporate defense lawyer working on an hourly basis may earn several times what a prosecutor or public defender earns.

Etymology[edit]

The term "profession" is a truncation of the term "liberal profession", which is, in turn, an Anglicization of the French term profession libérale. Originally borrowed by English users in the 19th century, it has been re-borrowed by international users from the late 20th, though the (upper-middle) class overtones of the term do not seem to survive re-translation: "liberal professions" are, according to the European Union's Directive on Recognition of Professional Qualifications (2005/36/EC), "those practised on the basis of relevant professional qualifications in a personal, responsible and professionally independent capacity by those providing intellectual and conceptual services in the interest of the client and the public". Under the European Commission, liberal professions are professions that require specialized training and that are regulated by "national governments or professional bodies".^[12]

Formation[edit]

A profession arises through the process of professionalization when any trade or occupation transforms itself:
"... [through] the development of formal qualifications based upon education, apprenticeship, and examinations, the emergence of regulatory bodies with powers to admit and discipline members, and some degree of monopoly rights.^[13]
Major milestones which may mark an occupation being identified as a profession include:^[6]

1. 
   an occupation becomes a full-time occupation
   
2. 
   the establishment of a training school
   
3. 
   the establishment of a university school
   
4. 
   the establishment of a local association
   
5. 
   the establishment of a national association of professional ethics
   
6. 
   the establishment of state licensing laws
   

Applying these milestones to the historical sequence of development in the United States shows surveying achieving professional status first (note that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln all worked as land surveyors before entering politics^[14][15][16]), followed by medicine, actuarial science, law, dentistry, civil engineering, logistics, architecture and accounting.^[17]
With the rise of technology and occupational specialization in the 19th century, other bodies began to claim professional status: mechanical engineering, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, psychology, nursing, teaching, librarianship, optometry and social work, each of which could claim, using these milestones, to have become professions by 1900.^[18]

Regulation[edit]
