Questions
(Are You Ready Yet?)
We make a question with the verb to be by swapping the order of the verb and the subject….
-
I am… Am I...?
-
You are…. Are you…?
-
She is.. Is she…?
-
We are…. Are we…?
-
They are…. Are they…?

Rory, are you ready yet?
The same goes for auxiliary verbs, like have, will, could.

-

When are you finished?
