Jika anda ingin menanyakan tentang subject
dari suatu kalimat, langsung saja tambahkan kata tanya pada awal kalimat.
Contohnya:
Shellybuys new car. – Who buys new car?
Jika anda menanyakan tentang predicate
dari suatu kalimat (bagian dari kalimat yang mengandung kata kerja dan
memberikan informasi tentang subject), ada 3 pilihan:
1. Jika ada
kata kerja bantu (auxiliary verb) yang mendahului kata kerja utama (seperti: can,
is, are, was, were, will, would, … etc), silahkan tambahkan kata tanya
kemudian diikuti dengan kata kerja bantu (auxiliary verb) dan subject.
Contohnya:
He can speak Japanese. – What
can he speak?
They are working tonight. – When
are they working?
2. Jika anda
menanyakan predicate tetapi tidak ada kata kerja bantu-nya (auxiliary verb)
dan hanya ada “to be”, silahkan tambahkan kata tanya kemudian diikuti
dengan to be dan subject. Contohnya:
The play was interesting. – How
was the play?
3. Jika tidak
ada kata kerja bantu (auxiliary verb) pada predicate dan kata
kerja utama bukanlah berupa “to be”, silahkan tambahkan kata kerja bantu
“do/ does” dalam bentuk yang sesuai. Contohnya:
They go to the movies every
Saturday. – When dothey go to the movies?
He wakes up early. – When
does he wake up?
Tom
sent a letter. – What did they send?
