An indirect question is a question embedded within another statement or question. It typically does not use question marks within the embedded part and often follows a reporting verb or phrase. The word order in an indirect question is usually that of a statement (subject-verb) rather than a direct question (verb-subject).
Correct Option: B) Can you tell me where the bank is?
This is an indirect question because the question about the bank's location is embedded within another question ("Can you tell me..."), and the word order within the embedded clause ("where the bank is") follows a statement structure (subject + verb) rather than an inverted question structure.
To choose the correct question tag, we need to consider two main rules: the polarity (positive/negative) of the main sentence and the verb and pronoun used in the main sentence.
C) aren't you — This option correctly follows the rules: the main sentence is positive, so the tag is negative ("aren't"), and the auxiliary verb and pronoun match the main sentence ("are you").
The question asks to identify the interrogative word used specifically to inquire about time. We need to recall the function of each given question word.
Correct Option: C) When
The question asks to identify the direct question among the given options. A direct question is a sentence that asks for information and typically ends with a question mark. It usually follows a specific grammatical structure, often involving an inverted subject-verb order or the use of question words (who, what, where, when, why, how).
Correct Option: B) Where do you live?
This option correctly follows the grammatical structure of a direct question, including the use of a question word, auxiliary verb, and subject-verb inversion, and ends with a question mark.
To form a question in the past tense, we generally use the auxiliary verb "did" followed by the base form of the main verb. This structure applies to all subjects (I, you, he, she, it, we, they).
Correct Option: A) Did she go?
This option correctly uses the auxiliary verb "Did" (indicating past tense) followed by the subject "she" and the base form of the main verb "go".
A Yes/No question is a type of question that can be answered with a simple "Yes" or "No". These questions are typically closed-ended and seek confirmation or denial of a statement. We need to examine each option to see which one fits this criterion.
Based on this analysis, only option B can be answered with a simple "Yes" or "No."
Correct Option: B) Are you ready?
