    Questions for your pharmacist


    Remember!
    To form questions in English, we change the position of the ‘auxiliary verb’ in a
    sentence. Study the sentences below.
    - This medicine is okay for children.
    - Is this medicine okay for children?
    In the question, the auxiliary verb (is) now comes before the subject (this
    medicine). When there is no auxiliary verb, we use the verb ‘do’ to form
    questions.
    - This medicine works fast.
    - Does this medicine work fast?
    We usually put ‘question words’ (who, what, which, when, how at the beginning
    of a sentence to form questions.
    - What is the price of these plasters? When will the medicine start to work?

    ● Put the words into the correct order.
