Answer:
A) Questions usually start with a helping verb or adverb.
Explanation:
The sentence structure in statements and questions is different. In the case of statements, the main elements (subject, verb and direct object) must be organized in the following way:
- Subject + Verb + Direct Object: John drives a motorcycle.
Statements can also include indirect objects, adverbs, modal and auxiliary verbs, among other elements.
On the other hand, questions are organized in two ways, depending on the type of question:
Verb + Subject + Complement:
Is she your sister?
Modal/Auxiliary verb + Subject + Verb:
Will you go to the party? Do you like it? Can you answer the phone?
WH word + Verb + Subject:
What is this? Where are you?
WH word + Modal/Auxiliary verb + Subject + Verb:
Where will she go? What are you doing? What did you do last night?
