Now, you try it! Use these practice exercises to help you improve at forming yes or no questions.

1- With a friend or family member, practice saying aloud the example questions, statements and responses from today's program. Doing this can help you become much more comfortable with the sound and structure of yes or no questions.

2- Make the below statements into yes or no questions. Then, respond to each question:

Example:

I have a pen. (Statement)
Do you have a pen? (Question)

I have a pen.
We can take the dog to the park.
You are annoyed with me.

3- After doing the two practice exercises above, try writing your own yes/no questions. Remember that, the more you practice, the more you will improve.
