Many students would agree that asking questions correctly is not an easy task. In the beginning students see no problems - the quickly learn questions like: "Where are you from?" "Can you speak English? and "How much is it?". But with time - when they face more helping words like: DO/DOES DID the seem to get confused.
Here you can find a friendly intro to English questions :) Many will be surprised that we can ask a questions without a HELPING WORD and therefore not bother with INVERSIONS and so on.
A "friendly" questions like that are so called INFINITIVE QUESTION. Study the following examples and try to guess their meaning:
- Where to? (in a taxi)
- Who for? / Who from? (about a gift)
- What to do? (about a weekend)
- Where to go?
- How to use it? (about a computer program)
- How to switch it on? (about a device)
- Where to pay? (in a shopping mall) to be continued...
