TURN IT INTO A QUESTION

How do we ask a question?

💡
У Present Continuous запитання будується дуже просто.

Нам не потрібно додавати нове слово. У реченні вже є am, is або are. Щоб зробити запитання, ми просто ставимо це слово перед підметом.

STATEMENT
👧📖
She is reading.

Вона зараз читає.

She is reading

QUESTION
❓
Is she reading?

Вона зараз читає?

Is she reading?
↔️
LOOK AT THE ORDER She IS reading. → IS she reading?

is було після she. У запитанні воно переходить перед she.

🧠
Запам'ятай головну ідею

Не змінюй дію. reading залишається reading. Ми змінюємо лише порядок слів.
