1 Kate's five. When my husband and I split up three years ago we decided she should have two homes. So now she stays with him in his flat from Sunday to Tuesday, and with me from Wednesday to Saturday. She's a happy little girl - she loves going to school and telling me how to run my life!				2 When I finished university I wanted to be an artist, but then I had Kate. I always wanted to be a long-distance lorry driver when I was young, but now I'm an assistant manager in a hotel. It's not a very interesting job but it pays well and the holidays are good.
3 I spend a lot of time on the net, talking to people, designing web pages, or just surfing around. Maybe I'm a bit of a nerd! I have a girlfriend, Robyn - it's not serious yet, but we go out together two or three times a week. You'd be surprised what you can do in Winnipeg, even when it's 40 degrees below. Because it's so isolated we have our own symphony orchestra and our own opera company, and we have more restaurants per capita than any city in North America				4 My dad's getting old now but he's still quite active. He worked for Manitoba Heat and Light until he retired, and now he annoys my mom because he's around the house all day. My mom was a teacher and she still sometimes does some substitute teaching. My brother Bruce is a bit of a nerd too, but he gets paid for it - he's a computer engineer.
5 I don't really have any plans for the future. I've done what I wanted to do, like travelling, being a wild student, and becoming a mum. What more could I ask for?		6 I live in a small two-bedroom house which I bought two years ago. It's in a quiet neighbourhood very near the town centre. I'm spending every evening and weekend decorating it at the moment.				7 I finished college last year, and I started a temporary job at Winnipeg Public library. I've been offered a permanent job, but I am going to go back to university
3. Cover the texts and complete these sentences. Which ones have an auxiliary verb? Kate ______with her father for three days a week. Sarah __________every evening decorating her house. She and her husband __________ three years ago. Sarah __________what she wanted to do. George ___________work at the library last year. He ____________to go back to university. You ________ do a lot in Winnipeg. George's dad ______________ old. Grammar Note Question forms

	Questions with Yes/No answers These kinds of question begin with an auxiliary verb (e.g. is, are, have, has, will, can, do, does, did, etc.) and then the subject. We usually answer these questions with Yes/No
	Do you like American thrillers?		Yes, I do. / No, I don’t.
	Is he a painter?		Yes, he is. / No, he isn’t.
	Are they watching TV?		Yes, they are./No, they aren’t.
	Has she finished yet?		Yes, she has. /No, she hasn't.
	Did we send him a letter?		Yes, we did. /No, we didn’t.
	Question tags Question tags are short questions at the end of a statement. Use question tags in spoken English to check information and to keep the conversation going. To make question tags, repeat the auxiliary verb, not the main verb. If the main verb is to be, repeat that.
	Affirmative statements use a negative tag. It's cold in here, isn't it? We have been there, haven't we? Use this structure when you think the answer is yes.
	Negative statements use an affirmative tag. We don't have to pay, do we? I won't be needed, will I? Use this structure when you think the answer is no.
	If there is no auxiliary verb, use do, does or did, or their negatives. She went home, didn't she? I know you, don't I?
	For short answers, we also use the auxiliary verb.
	You aren't Spanish, are you?				No, I'm not.
	They have arrived, haven't they?				Yes, they have.

NB When the sentence contains a word with a negative meaning like never, hardly, seldom or rarely, the question tag is positive.

e.g. He is never late, is he? They seldom go to the theatre, do they?

Some verbs/expressions form question tags differently:I am aren't I? I am strong, aren't I?

Imperative will/won't you? Close the door, will/ won't you?

Let's shall we? Let's go out, shall we?

Don't will you Don't shout, will you?

Ihave (got) haven't I? (=possess) She's got a sister, hasn't she?

Ihave don't I? You have a shower every day, don’t you?

There is/are isn't/aren’t there? There is a man in the room, isn't

there?

Object questions When a Wh-question word is the object of the question, we use the normal question word order: Form: question word + auxiliary + object + verb. Who do you get on well with? What did you say? Subject questions When a Wh- word refers to the subject in a question, we don’t use the the auxiliary verb, word order is the same as an affirmative sentence. Form: question word +verb+ object. Who is expecting a message? What happened?(NOT: ~~What did happen~~?)
