Sentence explained the comparison between YesNo questions and WH-questions by giving example as in figure 2.1. Figure 2.1. The Comparison between YesNo Questions and W-H Questions STATEMENT: John likes coffee. YESNO QUESTIONS: Does John like coffee? what W-H QUESTIONS: Does John like coffee? What does John like? As explained in the figure above, the biggest difference between YesNo and WH-questions is the precence of a question word within the question. WH- questions always include a question word at the beginning of the question, while the YesNo questions do not use any question word at the beginning of the question. The types of the question word used in the sentence are based on the purpose of the question. If the statement uses verb be, the pattern of YesNo and WH-question becomes as in figure 2.2. Figure 2.2. The Pattern of YesNo and W-H Question Using Verb Be STATEMENT: John is in class. YESNO QUESTIONS: Is John in class? where W-H QUESTIONS: Is John in class? Where is John? There is a change in the pattern of YesNo when the statement uses verb be. Compared to the previous pattern, the dodoes is replaced with the verb be is. In WH-question, the dodoes is also replaced with the verb be. The question word is still used at the beginning of the question. If the question uses the expression do what, the pattern becomes as in figure 2.3. Figure 2.3. The Pattern of YesNo and W-H Question Using the Expression do what STATEMENT: John studies English every day. YESNO QUESTIONS: Does John study English every day? Do what W-H QUESTIONS: What does John do every day? If the question uses the expression do what, the pattern of YesNo questions is preceded by the word do or does. It depends on the subject used in the question. While in the WH-questions, the verb is replaced with do or does based on the subject of the sentence. The questioned object is also replaced with a question word. The question word is then placed in front of the sentence.
