Question Forms

Students who are often very familiar with standard object questions can have problems with subject questions, indirect questions, and question tags. This exercise uses a quiz to help students identify and improve their understanding of the differences in structure among the various question forms. The quiz itself is then used as the basis for more class interaction while students practice using the question forms.
