In English, there are two basic types of question.
1. Yes/no questions often begin with the verb to be, but can also begin with other auxiliary verbs, such as do.
We ask these when we want a yes or no answer.
2. Wh-questions start with a question word, such as who, what, where, when, why or how.
We ask this type of question when we want different kinds of information. These questions cannot be answered with a yes or no.
