lesson 4 A4

A.4 Notice the position of the prepositions.

Previous pattern:

		John	studies	At the	Library	every	Day?
	Does	John	study	At the	Library	every	Day?
				where
	Does	John	study	At the	Library	every	Day?
Where	Does	John	study			every	Day?

New pattern:

		John	looks	At	Mary	every	Day?
	Does	John	look	At	Mary	every	Day?
				who
	Does	John	Look	At	Mary	every	Day?
Who	Does	John	look			every	Day?

COMMENTS

1.       In the new pattern, the preposition (in this case at) is not part of the expression which is replaced by the question word.

2.       It is permissible for the preposition to remain with the verb when the question word is moved to the beginning.

Exercise 10. Make wh-questions which correspond to the teacher’s statements.
