FAQs

What does this worksheet cover?

This worksheet covers forming and answering yes/no questions with “be” through 18 multiple-choice items. Students select correct affirmative and negative responses, use “is” or “are” with the right subject pronoun, and change statements such as “She is happy” into questions such as “Is she happy?”

How can I use this worksheet to teach yes/no questions with “be”?

First, model the word-order change from a statement to a question, such as moving “is” before “she” in “Is she happy?” Then guide students through the items that practise “is” and “are,” followed by questions requiring affirmative or negative answers. Ask students to explain why an answer uses “he,” “she,” “it,” “we,” or “they” before they complete the remaining multiple-choice questions independently.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this worksheet?

Watch for students choosing “is” with plural subjects, using “are” with “she” or “he,” or selecting a response with the wrong pronoun, such as “Yes, we are” for a question about “she.” Students may also leave “be” after the subject when forming questions, write “Do she happy?”, or choose incomplete negatives such as “they not” instead of “they are not.”

How do I assign and grade this worksheet?

Wayground provides this worksheet as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz, and it includes a complete answer key. You can grade printable submissions by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app, while digital responses can be reviewed in Wayground. The printable format also gives schools an option for reducing screen time.

How can I differentiate this worksheet for my students?

Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size so the multiple-choice options and sentence-transformation items are easier to read. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when students need language-access support while practising the English forms of “is” and “are.”
