18. Questions about a Statement
Skills: practicing the formation of wh-questions and yes/no questions
Write a statement on the board. The statement can be about anything,
real or absurd. Get the students to think up as many questions about
the statement as they can. For example, a statement might be “The
moon is made of green cheese.” Students could then come up with
questions like:
• “Why is the moon made of green cheese?”
• “Has the moon always been made of green cheese?”
• “Is it light or dark green cheese?”
• “What type of cheese is it?”
• “How was it made?”
• “What does the cheese taste like?”
