Two kinds of question

On page 159 of your book, Poorvi, you write two questions you would like to ask Ila Sachani. Your book gives two examples: 'Where were you born?' and 'Did you go to school?' They are two different kinds of question.

'Did you go to school?' is a YES/NO question: it can be answered with just 'yes' or 'no'. Yes/no questions usually begin with a helping word such as do, did, is, are, can or will: 'Can you thread a needle?' 'Do you like bright colours?'

'Where were you born?' is a question-word question: it begins with a question word such as what, where, when, who, why or how. It cannot be answered with just 'yes' or 'no' — Ila would have to say 'In Amreli, Gujarat.'

Your book tells you one more thing: when you SPEAK a yes/no question, your voice goes UP at the end. This is called a rising tone. Try it aloud: 'Did you go to school?'
