When there is more than one auxiliary verb or a modal verb plus auxiliary verb(s), we
only put the first auxiliary or the modal verb before the subject and the others after
the subject:
Auxiliary + subject + auxiliary + verb

Modal + subject + auxiliary + auxiliary + verb

Without an auxiliary verb
When we askyes-noquestions using the main verbbe, we dont use an
auxiliary verb. The word order is:be+ subject:
Is the weathernice in Turkey in the winter?
Was sheangry when you told her about the accident?
When we ask yes-no questions with the main verb have, we can also use the
word order verb + subject, but its sounds rather formal. We use have got and
do as more neutral or informal alternatives;
Have you an identity card? (formal)
Do you have an identity card?(neutral)
WARNING
Have you got an identity card?(informal)
When we ask questions with the main verbhavein the past to refer to possession, we
usedid haverather thanhad got:
