Yes No Question


YES  NO QUESTIONS

When to Use Yes No Questions
Yes No questions are questions that do not take a question word such as 'what', 'when', 'where', etc. Yes No questions are used to check information, ask for a confirmation and check facts. Here are some examples:
Do you live in Seattle?
Was he late for work yesterday?
Are you coming to the meeting tomorrow?

Yes No questions are generally answered with Yes No answers that include an auxiliary verb. Here are some examples:
Do you live in Seattle? - Yes, I do.
Did he go to work yesterday? - Yes, he did.
Are you coming to the meeting tomorrow? - No, I'm not.

Notice that Yes answers include the subject and the full auxiliary verb:
Are they working on that report? - Yes, they are.
Have you ever visited Paris? - Yes, I have.
Will you help me? - Yes, I will.

No answers include the auxiliary verb plus not and often employs the short form (contraction):
Do they live in Chicago? - No, they don't.
