Welcome to my School Wednesday!
Today I'd like to tell you about word order in the English language. The point is that English is an analytic language, it is a language that conveys grammatical relationships with using morphemes, i.e. separate words and word order. That's why it's very important use a right word order in your written and oral speech. Last Wednesday I told you about using the verb "to be" in the present tense and you have already know that you must use the basic order of words: subject+predicative+secondary parts of sentence(such as object, adverbial modifier) in positive sentences(statements).
But in questions (interrogative sentences) we must use the inverted order of words, it means:
general question ( it's a kind of interrogative questions which has a short form of answer "yes" or "no"): auxiliary verb+subject+main verb+objective+adverbial modifier?
Special question( it's an interrogative question includes interrogative pronouns such as what, which, who and so on) such questions are often called "Wh questions":
question word+auxiliary verb+subject+main verb+objective+adverbial modifier?
So speaking about the verb "to be" , you must build any question using these formulae:
1. auxiliary verb+subject+main verb+objective+adverbial modifier?
2. question word+auxiliary verb+subject+main verb+objective+adverbial modifier?

Thanks for your attention.
