Lưu ý: Không thể hỏi câu hỏi Yes/No mà không dùng một trong các trợ động từ trên. • He want a car? —> Does he want a car? • You going to eat with us? —> Are you going to eat with us? Cấu trúc câu hỏi trong tiếng Anh với động từ “To Be” Dùng động từ be để hỏi về nhân dạng, hình dạng, nơi chốn và những hoạt động và tình huống ở hiện tại hoặc quá khứ. – Nhân dạng/Hình dạng Bạn có thể dùng be + danh từ/tính từ để hỏi về nhân dạng hoặc hình dạng của một người, một nơi chốn hoặc đồ vật nào đó.

(Có có nên dừng lại không?) • Would you go with me? Yes (I would). (Anh sẽ đi cùng tôi chứ?) Chú ý: Khi hỏi câu hỏi với do hoặc động từ khiếm khuyết, động từ chính phải ở dạng nguyên mẫu không to. Incorrect Correct Do you to drink coffee? Do you drink coffee? Does she to work here? Does she work here? Can I to go with you? Can I go with you? Should we to email her? Should we email her?
