How to Form Yes\u002FNo Questions with \"Be\"\n\nThe verb **be** is different from most other verbs. To make a **question**, put **am \u002F is \u002F are** before the subject.\n\nTo make a question, you **change the word order**.\n\nUse this word order:\n\n* **Am \u002F Is \u002F Are + subject + other information?**\n\nThe information after the subject can be a describing word (*happy*, *ready*), a person or thing (*your friend*, *a teacher*), a place (*at home*, *in the office*), or a word about time (*late*, *early*).\n\n:::example\n*“She is happy.”* → *“Is she happy?”*\n*“Am I late?”*\n*“Am I in the right place?”*\n*“Is he your friend?”*\n*“Is she ready?”*\n*“Are they at home?”*\n*“Are we in the right room?”*\n*“Are you okay?”*\n:::\n\n:::warning\nDo **not** use *do* or *does* with the verb **be**.\n\n✗ *\"Does she is happy?\"*\n✓ *\"Is she happy?\"*\n:::\n\n## 2. Answering Yes\u002FNo Questions with the Verb \"Be\"\n\nYou answer yes\u002Fno questions with a short answer: **yes or no + subject + be.**\n\n### Positive answers\n\n**Pattern:** Yes, + subject + be.\n\n:::example\n*“Am I early?”* → **Yes, you are.**\n*“Is she happy?”* → **Yes, she is.**\n*“Are they ready?”* → **Yes, they are.**\n:::\n\n### Negative answers\n\n**Pattern:** No, + subject + be + not.\n\n:::example\n*“Am I early?”* → **No, you are not. \u002F No, you're not. \u002F No, you aren't.**\n*“Is she happy?”* → **No, she is not. \u002F No, she's not. \u002F No, she isn't.**\n*“Are they ready?”* → **No, they are not. \u002F No, they're not. \u002F No, they aren't.**\n:::\n\nAll three forms are correct. In speaking, the contracted forms (*you're not* or *you aren't*) are more common.\n\n:::warning\nDo not repeat the adjective, noun, or place in a short answer.\n\n✗ *\"Yes, she is happy.\"*\n✓ *\"Yes, she is.\"*\n:::\n\n## 3. Tips\n\n:::tip\nRemember: with the verb **be**, you move the verb to the front to make a question. You do not need *do* or *does*.\n\nThink of it as swapping: *She **is** happy.* → ***Is** she happy?*\n:::","en","A1",5,[12],{"id":13,"name":14,"level":9,"language":8,"isCompleted":15,"completionPercentage":16,"totalExercises":17,"completedExercises":16,"vocabularyLists":18},"019aede5-d104-7159-b2cf-5c90a93f80b1","Yes\u002FNo (To be) Questions",false,0,2,[],"2025-12-18T15:48:48+00:00","2026-07-14T17:37:39+00:00",[22],"grammar_exercise_questions_question_forms",[],"\u002Fuploads\u002Fimages\u002Fog_019b3226-4738-776c-98cd-d4489f345309.jpg?v=1784050659",[26,33],{"@id":27,"@type":28,"id":29,"grammarPage":30,"title":31,"instructions":32,"displayOrder":16,"isCompleted":15},"\u002Fapi\u002Fgrammar_exercises\u002F019d1083-8fd4-7aa2-abf4-f684ec603fc0","GrammarExercise","019d1083-8fd4-7aa2-abf4-f684ec603fc0","\u002Fapi\u002Fgrammar_pages\u002F019b3226-4738-776c-98cd-d4489f345309","Questions with 'to be' - Daily Life","Complete the sentences about daily activities using the correct form of 'to be'.
