Do your ESL students know how to form questions in English? Do they encounter difficulties when picking up the correct auxiliary verb, question word or tense form? If so, the following worksheet will definitely come in handy. The activities introduced in the lesson are suitable for the Pre-Intermediate level. Mind that the worksheet is aimed at revising Question forming in English and not learning. Hence, you can use it only if you have already covered the main topics of question formation with Present, Past and Future Tenses. The activities will help students use correct question forms not only in writing but also speaking.
