Questions:

The basic rule for asking questions in English is straightforward: Invert the order of the subject and the first auxiliary verb. (invertir auxiliary i verb auxiliar)

Verb auxiliar + subjecte + verb principal

• You speak fluent French. = Do you speak fluent French?

• She lives in Brussels. = Does she live in Brussels?

• They lived in Manchester. = Did they live in Manchester?

• He had an accident. = Did he have an accident?

If there is no auxiliary, use part of the verb 'to do'.

Do + subjecte + verb

Most questions with question words are made in the same way:

Why/How/What… + do + subjecte + verb

• How often does she use it?
• Why don't you come?
• Where do you work?
• How many did you buy?
• What time did you go?
• Which one do you like?
• Whose car were you driving?

Medical questions:

My pain is constant = Is the pain constant?
 Verb en present + subjecte + adjectiu

The pain is here = Where is the pain?
Where + verb + subjecte

My pain started yesterday = When (quan)

When did the pain start?

When + do (did en passat ) + subjecte + verb en infinitiu
