Ahora vamos a hablar de los questions words y de cmo podemos usarlas correctamente
con el verbo to be.
Question words are those words that may go in the beginning of a question. When we use
question words we do not use a yes or no answer.
Las questions words son las palabras especficas que se deben colocar al inicio de la frase
interrogativa en ingls. Cuando stas se utilizan no se responde con las respuestas cortas si o
no (Yes, I am por ejemplo). Se responde con una oracin completa ( S+V+C).
Ejemplo :
Whats your name?
No, Im not (The answer is a yes/no because there isnt a question word)
