In general questions, the auxiliary verb (do, be, have, will) is placed before the subject, and the main verb follows the subject, ie, the word order is auxiliary verb + subject + main verb (+ object + adverbial modifier ). Responses to general questions can be in the form of short "Yes" or "No" answers or in the form of full statements. (General questions are also called Yes / No questions or yes-no questions.) General questions are pronounced with rising intonation. Do you live here? – you live here ?
Does she speak English well ? Does she speak English well?
Have you finished your work ? - Have you finished your work yet?
Can you swim ? - You can swim?
Did he go to Brazil last year ? Did he go to Brazil last year?
