Word order in questions

• In English questions, we change the order of the words. We put the auxiliary verb or 'be' before the subject.
• Question word
• Auxiliary / Be
• Subject
• Main verb / Rest
• What
• is
• your name
• Where
• do
• you
• work
• Are
• you
• a UI designer
• Remember
• Use 'Wh-' words (where, what, who) at the very beginning of the question.
• Use 'do' or 'does' for present simple questions with normal verbs.
• Put 'is' or 'are' before the subject when you ask with the verb 'to be'.
• Examples
• Where do you work in Boston?
• What is your role at the studio?
• Are you a senior designer?
• Common mistakes
• Where you work in London?
• Where do you work in London?
• Is you a UI designer?
• Are you a UI designer?
