Use Questions and Statements
You ask a question to find out something. Some questions start with Am, Is, or Are. The answer to these questions is a statement with Yes or No.
| Are you from Miami? | Yes, I’m from Miami. |
| Is he from Miami? | No, he is from Chicago. |
Some questions start with Who, What, When, or Where. Ask these questions to get information.
Who is that boy? He is my cousin.
What is that in his hand? That is his lunch.
When is lunch time? It is at 12:00.
Where is a good place to eat? That spot under the tree is a good place to eat.
