Find the definition of
information question (5W+1H), yes/no questions, and tag question ?
Answer :
Information Question
(5W+1H)
The questions answered
in the lead of a conventional newspaper article: who, what, when, where, why
and how. Information questions are also called
"Wh-" questions because many of the words that are used to ask this type
of question begin with Wh-.
The 5Ws + H formula has
been attributed to English rhetorician Thomas Wilson, who introduced the method
in his discussion of the "seven circumstances" of medieval rhetoric
To be a journalist 5W
1H is very important, especially to write "lede" (some call it
"leads") news, which is a paragraph (or two paragraphs) opening news.
In approximately 35-40 words, should insert the 5W 1H. It was in the news
writing.
Yes/No Questions
The answers for simple questions
in English are "Yes,","No," or "I don't know" (or
its equivalent). The answers for information questions are varied--because they
are used to ask about specific kinds of information.
There are 2 types of
interrogative sentence in English (question words), namely:
a.
The WH question words
b.
Yes or no questions
Yes-no question can be
made by changing the declarative sentence (statement). You have to know which
one subject, the main verb (not followed by any verb), and helping / auxiliary
verb (primary auxiliary verb / capital). Brief explanation is as follows.
Tag Questions
A
question tag or tag question (also known as tail question) is a grammatical
structure in which a declarative statement or an imperative is turned into a
question by adding an interrogative fragment (the "tag"). For
example, in the sentence "You're John, aren't you?", the statement
"You're John" is turned into a question by the tag "aren't you".
The term "question tag" is generally preferred by British
grammarians, while their American counterparts prefer "tag question".
