Asking a Yes-No Question with an Adjective
- Yes-no questions can be formed with a subject and an adjective.

Simple yes-no questions can be formed using a subject and an adjective in English. These questions are easy to make and understand. Let's learn how to use them properly.
Yes-No Questions with Subject and Adjective
To form a simple yes-no question in English, switch the order of be verb and subject. The basic structure is: "Is/Are" + Subject + Adjective + Question Mark (?).
Examples:
-
Is the cat big?
Be verb - subject - adjective?
-
Are you happy?
Be verb - subject - adjective?
-
Is he a nice man?
Be verb - subject - adjective - noun?
With subjects like "this", "that", "these", "those" or "there", the same rule applies.
Examples:
-
Is this real?
Be verb - subject - adjective?
-
Are there many people?
Be verb - subject - adjective?
Remember to match the verb "to be" with the subject. "Is" is used with singular and "Are" is used with plural.
