Yes & No Question
Yes & No Question
Definition : An interrogative construction
that expects an answer of "Yes" or "No." Contrast with WH-
question. Examples and Observations:
Homer: Are you an angel?
Moe: Yes, Homer. All us angels wear Farrah slacks.
Principal McGee: Are you just going to stand there all day?
Sonny: No ma'am. I mean, yes ma'am. I mean, no ma'am.
Principal McGee: Well, which is it?
Sonny: Um, no ma'am.
(Eve Arden and Michael Tucci in Grease, 1978)
The yes-no question is found in
three varieties: the inverted question, the typical exemplar of this kind; the
inverted question offering an alternative (which may require more than a simple
yes or no for an answer); and the tag question:
Are you going? (inversion)
Are you staying or going? (inversion
with alternative)
You're going, aren't you? (tag)
The inverted question merely inverts
the subject and the first verb of the verb phrase of the corresponding
statement pattern when that verb is either a modal or an auxiliary verb or the
verb be and sometimes have. The question itself may be positive or negative:
She is leaving on Wednesday.
Is she leaving on Wednesday?
A positive question appears to be neutral
as to the expected response--yes or no. However, a negative question seems to
hold out the distinct possibility of a negative response.
Are you going? Yes/No.
Aren't you going? No.
"There are many different ways
to format questions on a survey. Let's say you want to measure people's
attitudes toward premarital sex. You could ask a simple yes-no question:
Are you in favor of premarital sex?
___ Yes ___ No
Or you could use a Likert-type scale
where the question is phrased as a statement." (Annabel Ness Evans and
Bryan J. Rooney, Methods in Psychological Research, 2nd ed. Sage, 2011) Also
Known As: polar interrogative, polar question, bipolar question.

Tag Question
Tag Question
Question tags are the short
questions that we put on the end of sentences – particularly in spoken English.
There are lots of different question tags but the rules are not difficult to
learn.
Positive/negative
If the main part of the sentence is
positive, the question tag is negative.
He’s a doctor, isn’t he?
You work in a bank, don’t you?
And if the main part of the sentence is negative, the question tag is positive.
You haven’t met him, have you?
She isn’t coming, is she?
With auxiliary verbs
The question tag uses the same verb
as the main part of the sentence. If this is an auxiliary verb (‘have’, ‘be’)
then the question tag is made with the auxiliary verb.
They’ve gone away for a few days,
haven’t they?
They weren’t here, were they?
He had met him before, hadn’t he?
This isn’t working, is it?
Without auxiliary verbs
If the main part of the sentence
doesn’t have an auxiliary verb, the question tag uses an appropriate form of
‘do’.
I said that, didn’t I?
You don’t recognise me, do you?
She eats meat, doesn’t she?
With modal verbs
If there is a modal verb in the main
part of the sentence the question tag uses the same modal verb.
They couldn’t hear me, could they?
You won’t tell anyone, will you?
With ‘I am’
Be careful with question tags with
sentences that start ‘I am’. The question tag for ‘I am’ is ‘aren’t I?’
I’m the fastest, aren’t I?
Intonation
Question tags can either be ‘real’
questions where you want to know the answer or simply asking for agreement when
we already know the answer. If the question tag is a real question we use
rising intonation. Our tone of voice rises. If we already know the answer we
use falling intonation. Our tone of voice falls.
