Cheat Sheet
- Subject - Auxiliary Inversion -
Identify the auxiliary verb (do/does/did, have, be, or a modal) and swap it with the subject to form questions (e.g., "Do you like puzzles?"). Use the S-A-V mnemonic (Subject - Auxiliary - Verb) to quickly choose the correct option when assessing inversion patterns (Cambridge University Press).
- WH-Question Structure -
Begin with a question word (who, what, when, where, why, how), then follow with the auxiliary, subject, and main verb (e.g., "Where did she go?"). Remember the W-WH trick: place the WH-word first to ensure you choose the right option answer in open-ended queries (Purdue OWL).
- Yes/No vs. Tag Questions -
Yes/no questions invert subject and auxiliary (e.g., "Is he coming?") while tag questions add a short tag at the end (e.g., "He's coming, isn't he?"). Recognize whether the quiz item needs a confirming tag or a simple inversion to choose the correct option (British Council).
- Handling Do/Does/Did Pitfalls -
Avoid using do-support with be and modal verbs; instead, invert directly (e.g., "Are they ready?" not "Do they are ready?"). Keep an eye out for tense consistency so you choose the correct option answer when do-forms might mislead you (Oxford University Press).
- Indirect Question Word Order -
In indirect questions, maintain statement order without inversion (e.g., "Can you tell me where she lives?" not "Can you tell me where lives she?"). Use the rule "No Flip" to distinguish direct from indirect formats and select the correct option confidently (Cambridge Assessment).
