Dalam bahasa Inggris, menurut
aturan grammar, ada beberapa pertanyaan yang cukup dijawab dengan “ya” atau
“tidak”. Misalkan, pertanyaan “Apakah kamu ingin pergi?” cukup dijawab dengan
“Ya” atau “Tidak”.
Cara membuat yes or no questions
ü Aturan 1
Jika kalimat positif hanya
menggunakan to be sebagai kata kerja, maka balikkan subjek dengan kata kerja,
kemudian tambahkan tanda Tanya di akhir kalimat interogatif.
They are English. – Are they English?
She is an accountant. – Is she an accountant?
He is a murder. – Is he a murder?
ü Aturan 2
Jika kalimat positif mempunyai
kata kerja utama ditambah dengan kata kerja bantu (auxiliary verbs) maka
balikkan posisi subjek dengan posisi kata kerja bantu yang pertama.
They are swimming in my pool.
– Are they
swimming in my pool?
She has done her homework today.
– Has she
done her homework today?
He will always be with us. – Will he always be with us?
ü Aturan 3
Jika kalimat positif tidak
mempunyai to be dan tidak pula mempunyai kata kerja bantu (auxiliary verbs),
maka perubahannya akan lebih kompleks. Penjelasannya adalah sebagai berikut.
3.1. Tambahkan Do di awal
kalimat interogatif apabila subjeknya I, we, they, dan you. Termasuk juga
subjek yang jamak namun tidak ditulis dalam bentuk they, misalnya parents,
teachers, speakers, mechanics.
You like football. – Do you
like football?
Their parents cook in the kitchen. – Do their
parents cook in
the kitchen?
We have a
strong opinion. – Do we have a
strong opinion?
3.2. Tambahkan does jika
subjeknya adalah orang ketiga tunggal, yaitu he, she, it. Namun jangan lagi
tambahkan akhiran s/es ketika kata kerja sudah diubah ke dalam bentuk kalimat
Tanya.
Danny
plays football.
– Does Danny play football?
He fixes the
car. – Does he fix the car?
She eats apple.
– Does she eat apple?
3.3. Tambahkan did di awal
kalimat apabila kalimat positif berbentuk past tense. Kemudian kembalikan kata
kerja utama menjadi kata kerja present atau kembalikan ke bentuk awal.
You liked football.
– Did you like football?
Their parents cooked in the kitchen. – Did their
parents cook in
the kitchen?
We had a
strong opinion. – Did we have a
strong opinion?
Danny played football.
– Did Danny play football?
He fixed the
car. – Did he fix the
car?
She ate apple.
– Did she eat apple?

bahasa Inggris

Do you like tea?
Have you ever been
discriminated?
Is she a tailor?
Do you believe in God?
Is she a police?
Does she like me?
