❓ Flip It First (To Be Questions)

To make a yes/no question with to be, put am / is / are before the subject. Then give a short answer, like Yes, I am. or No, he isn't.

  • Example: Are you tired?
  • Example: Yes, I am.
  • Example: Is she happy?
  • Example: No, she isn't.

Quick Rule

  • Am I ...? → Yes, you are. / No, you aren't.
  • Are you ...? → Yes, I am. / No, I'm not.
  • Is he ...? → Yes, he is. / No, he isn't.
  • Are they ...? → Yes, they are. / No, they aren't.

Put am / is / are first, and you have a question! 😊
