5. Making questions
In order to know how to make questions, first we need to check the two most common type of questions:
Closed questions:
Example: A. Do you like Chile? B. No / Yes.
Open questions:
Example: A. Why do you like Chile? B. Well, I do like Chile because it has a nice weather and …
Q: What’s the difference between them?

6. Closed Questions
Normally, when we make closed questions we use a common word or auxiliary depending on the tense. Check and compare:
Do you like football?
Does she eat meat?
Did you lose your wallet last night?
Did they call you for the job?
They all request for concrete information, normally – yes / - no answers

7. Q: Can you make a question with each of them?
Open Questions
In the case of open questions, we need more than the auxiliary verb. This type of question uses wh – questions and more in order to look for specific information.

Where
Who
