There are three types of questions in English: subject questions, object questions, and yes/no questions. Subject questions ask about the subject of the sentence and do not change word order. Object questions ask about the object of the sentence and require changing the word order and using an auxiliary verb. Yes/no questions ask for confirmation or negation of a statement using an auxiliary verb and subject-verb structure. Examples of each type of question are provided.
