Asking Questions

In English, you can ask simple yes/no questions by either inverting the subject and verb or by using rising intonation:

–We can change money here.
(simple, declarative statement)


–Can we change money here?
(question with verb first)


–We can change money here?
(question with rising intonation)


NOTE: In the case of the simple present tense, it is necessary to use a form of the verb to do as an auxiliary in making a question:


–They like this bank.
–Do they like this bank?
–You have a passport.
–Do you have a passport?
