    Such a good video! But I have a question, why in cases such as “who lives there?” Auxiliaries are not used ?

    • @ellii
      @ellii  Před 9 měsíci +3

      Great question! It depends if the Wh- word is acting as the subject or object of the question. When the Wh- word is the subject like in your example, we don't use an auxiliary. (E.g., Who lives there? My sister lives there. But when the Wh- word is the object, we use an auxiliary. (E.g., Who did she call last night? She called her best friend last night.) Thinking of what the answer would be will help you know if the Wh- word is acting as a subject (no auxiliary) or object (auxiliary). Hope that helps!

      Sorry to take your time

    • @ellii
      @ellii  Před měsícem

      Oh, I see what you mean! I'm not exactly sure, but my guess is that you'd need to know how to answer these questions correctly. E.g., What time is it? / It is 12:00. Also, you might need to know which question goes with an answer. E.g., You turn it on by pressing the green button. / How do you turn on this machine? Good luck on your exam!

  • @Endless-fire
    @Endless-fire Před 9 měsíci +2

    Perhaps a better distinction would be open questions and closed questions. Closed questions have a list of expected answers; Yes or no questions are closed questions, the expected answer often being affirmation or rejection (aka yes or no). What you have listed as "wh- questions" are all open questions, where the answer could be anything reasonable. The term "wh- question" is a bit obtuse as while who, what, when, where, why, *how* are commonly included. Many other categorisers exist and more often than not no categorising word is used at all, as context and stress renders their inclusion redundant.

    • @ellii
      @ellii  Před 9 měsíci +1

      The terms "open" and "closed" questions are also great and really focus on the two types of responses. The terms "Yes/No" and "Wh-" are perhaps more instantly recognizable to students, however, and might be the reason many textbooks and other resources still use those terms.

      Be + an -ing verb is the present progressive (continuous) tense and it's used for actions happening right now. The simple present is used for repeated actions. E.g., What are you doing right now? / What do you do every day after school?
