Making a question

Put mixed-up words in order to make a question.

On page 85 of your book, Santoor, the words of some questions are all mixed up, and you put them back in order.

A question often begins with a question word: where, which, what, why, how or when. Or it begins with a helping word such as do, can, is or are. After that word comes the thing we are asking about.

Look at the jumbled words 'are cows where the'. The question word is 'where', so it comes first. Then comes 'are', then 'the cows'. The question is: Where are the cows?

Two things to remember every time. A question starts with a capital letter. A question ends with a question mark (?), not a full stop.

More questions from the book, put in order: What time is it? Why is the sky blue? How many birds are on the tree? When will you return my book? Do you walk to school? Can you fly a kite?

To make a question from jumbled words, put the question word (or do, can, is) first, begin with a capital letter, and end with a question mark.
