SPECIAL QUESTIONS
We put special questions in order to find something out and to get additional information about things, actions or qualities.
The structure of special questions is as follows:
Question Word + Auxiliary Verb + Subject + Notional Verb (+ Secondary Members)
e. g. What kind of dress do you have?
How old is Kitty?
The answer to special questions contains missing information.
If there is a preposition, it is usually put at the end of a sentence.
e. g. What court is Dan in?
In special questions to the subject the word order is like in affirmative sentences (it is direct).
e. g. Who has some books at home?
In special questions SOME doesn’t change into ANY; A LOT doesn’t change into MANY, MUCH.
Question Words
| Who [hu:] Whom [hu:m] Whose [hu:z] What [wɔt] When [wen] | Кто? Кого? Кому? Чей? Что? Какой? Когда? | Where [wɛə] Why [waɪ] How [haʊ] How many ['haʊ 'menɪ] How much ['haʊ 'mᴧʧ] | Куда? Где? Почему? Как? Сколько? Сколько? |
WHAT also means КТО? if the predicate is expressed by a noun denoting a job. Such questions are usually asked about the 3rd person.
|
|
|
- What is he?
- He is a teacher.
WHAT means КАКОЙ? if it stands before a noun and refers to an attribute denoting a nationality, a material, a season or to a compound element.
- What dress is this?
- It’s a silk dress.
- What cup is that?
- It’s a tea cup.
Such questions are not questions about a quality of a thing or person. The question about a quality is WHAT KIND OF …?
WHO is used if the predicate is expressed by a noun denoting the name (surname), social status (husband, wife etc.), relatives (uncle, cousin etc.).
WHICH means КОТОРЫЙ? when the choice is limited. It is also a question to an attribute expressed by an ordinal numeral, a word like YOUNGER, OLDER, an adjective in the superlative degree or a demonstrative pronoun.
