“strong” verbs, “weak” verbs, auxiliary verbs, basic questions, wh-questions, question tags

Abstract

The paper is a game-like presentation of the English question-forming rules that learners of English have to deal with in order to make and use correct questions. The method presented eliminates the pyramid-like system of teaching grammar, thus ensuring a simpler and more efficient means of teaching question-forming rules, a method that does not rely on the chronology of tense teaching found in many student books, manuals, or grammar guides.
