2. Спеціальне запитання (Special Questions)

Спеціальне запитання – це запитання, для отримання додаткової інформації. Це питання завжди розпочинається з питального слова (окрім питальних слів What та Who – вони використовуються у питаннях до підмета). 

Порядок слів у спеціальних запитаннях такий же, як і в загальних, але з одним виключенням: перед допоміжним дієсловом розташовується питальне слово. Приклади:

What did you visit in Kyiv last time? – Що ти в останній час відвідував у Києві?

Where do they go? – Куди вони йдуть?

How did you manage to get tickets? – Як тобі вдалося дістати квитки?

3. Питання до підмета (Who…? What…?)

Якщо є необхідність поставити питання до підмета, то використовують питальні слова Who? та What?. Порядок слів у питанні трохи змінений у порівнянні з попередніми двома, оскільки у питаннях до підмета не використовується сам підмет. Тобто, формула буде такою:

Who / What + смислове дієслово + доповнення

Приклади:

Who is he? – Хто він?

What is that? – Що це?

 Ask special questions to the sentences beginning with the words given in brackets.

Example: I saw him yesterday. (where?)

Where did you see him?

1. Some children do stupid things. (why?)
2. I am looking for my watch (what?)
3. His penfriend lives in London. (where?)
4. We met after school yesterday. (when?)
5. She'll come to the party. (with whom?)
6. English is spoken in many countries. (what countries?)
7. He was not prepared for the test. (why?)
