Inversion (Question Word Order)

Many questions in English follow the pattern: Question Word + Auxiliary Verb + Subject + Verb

  • Where did you go?
  • What are you going to sanitize?
  • Who should I call?
  • How are you doing?
  • How have you been?

If questions are asking for a yes or no answer, we of course, do not need a question word: Auxiliary Verb + Subject + Verb

  • Are you going to the graduation?
  • Could you give me a hand with this patient?
  • Do I have to come?
