    1.) If you as about the subject of the sentence, simply add the question word at
    the beginning:

    Example:

    George writes good poems. Who writes good poems?

    2.) If you ask about the predicate of the sentence (the part of a sentence which
    contains the verb and gives information about the subject), there are three
    options:

    ➢ If there is a helping (auxiliary) verb that precedes the main verb ( for
    example: can, is, are, was, were, will, would…), add the question word
    and invert the subject and the helping (auxiliary) verb.
    Example:
    He can speak Cantonese. What can he speak?
    They are leaving tonight. When are they leaving?

    ➢ If you ask about the predicate and there is no helping (auxiliary) verb and
    the verb is “to be”, simply add the question word and invert the subject
    and the verb.
    Example:
    The play was interesting. How was the play?

    ➢ If there is no helping (auxiliary) verb in the predicate and the main verb is
    not “to be”, add the auxiliary “do” in the appropriate form.
    Example:
    They go to the movies every Saturday. Where do they go every
    Saturday?
    He wakes up early. When does he wake up?
    They sent a letter. What did they send?
