• Example:
  • what is the main reason behind this?
  • which book do you like most?
• Yes/No Questions:
• These questions are designed to be answered simply with either an affirmative or a negative. They start with a verb or helping verb followed by the subject.
• Example:
  • Whether will you find a solution?
  • Are you happy?
