About Questions and Question Tags

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

This unit page collects material on how English questions are built. Wh-questions, question words, subject and object questions, indirect and embedded questions, negative questions and tag questions all appear in the list. Most of the resources are mind maps, with quizzes, flashcard decks, notes and a few slide sets alongside them.

Where to start

If you are new to the topic, begin with the Wh-Questions mind map. It sorts the question words by what they ask about: people, things, places, reasons, time and quantity. Then try the Quiz - wh quetions, where you fill in the missing question word in short dialogues. The Personal Information Questions quiz is a good first test too, because it practices the verb to be with names and nationalities.

Moving to harder forms

Once simple questions feel comfortable, open the Subject Questions vs Object Questions mind map. It explains who performs the action and who receives it, then gives a formula for each type. Next, read the Indirect questions mind map, which shows how to convert a direct question and keep statement word order. The mind map What is an embedded question? covers phrases such as I wonder and Could you tell me.

Tag questions

Two mind maps called Tag Questions explain how a short question at the end of a statement asks for confirmation. Read one, then test yourself with a tag questions quiz or one of the flashcard decks.

Using maps and quizzes together

  1. Read a mind map slowly and note the pattern it shows.
  2. Take a quiz on the same point and see which answers you missed.
  3. Go back to the map for those gaps only.
  4. Finish with a flashcard deck for quick repeat practice.

Teachers can use the quizzes as short warm-ups and the maps as board-ready summaries, since many resources repeat the same point in different ways.

Where this unit sits

This unit belongs to the strand Grammar: Words and Sentences in the subject English language. Questions connect to the other sentence patterns in that strand.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Wh-Questions mind map, which groups the question words by purpose. After that, take the Quiz - wh quetions to practice filling in the right word. If you want a gentler start, the Personal Information Questions quiz covers names and nationalities with the verb to be.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

There are over 290 mind maps. They cover wh-questions, question words, subject and object questions, indirect and embedded questions, negative questions and tag questions. Several topics appear in more than one map, so you can compare explanations and pick the one that makes the most sense to you.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. If you sign up for a free account, GoConqr also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Who made these resources?

They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. Over 400 contributors have added material to this page, which is why you will find different styles, some classroom-ready slide sets and some quick personal notes. Try a few and keep the ones that suit you.

Is there anything on tag questions?

Yes. You will find several Tag Questions mind maps, a notes page on question tags, a slide set and a few flashcard decks. There are also quizzes, including one titled Lexical-Grammar Test 4. Question Tags, so you can read first and then check your understanding.

What if I can't find the exact topic I need?

Look through the related titles, since many topics appear under different names, such as embedded questions for indirect questions. You can also build your own mind map, quiz or flashcard deck on the missing point and use it for your own studying or your class.
