Book page 85 Updated on2026-09-19

Q1.
Rearrange the following to form a question and write them in your notebook. Remember to put a question mark at the end. • are cows where the
Answer

Where are the cows?

How to build it: Find the question word first. Here it is Where. A question word always comes first. Next comes the helping verb are. Then comes the thing we are asking about, the cows. Start with a capital W and end with a question mark.

The pattern: Question word + verb + who or what → Where + are + the cows?

Q2.
• is your house which
Answer

Which is your house?

How to build it: The question word is Which, so it goes first. Then the verb is. Then your house. We use which when we are choosing one thing out of several — here, one house out of the whole street.
Q3.
• it time is what
Answer

What time is it?

How to build it: Here the question word What joins the word time to make one group — What time. That group goes first. Then the verb is, then it. This is a sentence you will use every day, so learn it by heart.
Q4.
• the blue why sky is
Answer

Why is the sky blue?

How to build it: Why asks for a reason, so it comes first. Then the verb is. Then the sky, and last the describing word blue. Notice the order changes: we say “the sky is blue”, but in a question the is jumps in front — “is the sky blue”.
Q5.
• the many are how birds on tree
Answer

How many birds are on the tree?

How to build it: How many is a two-word question group and it must stay together. It asks about a number, so the naming word birds follows it at once. Then the verb are, and then where they are — on the tree.
Q6.
• you my when return will book
Answer

When will you return my book?

How to build it: When asks about time, so it goes first. Then the helping verb will. Then the person doing it, you. Then the action, return. Then the thing, my book. The order is: question word + will + who + action + what.
Q7.
• walk you to do school
Answer

Do you walk to school?

How to build it: This one has no question word like what or where. It is a yes-or-no question, so it begins with the helping word Do. Then you, then the action walk, then to school. The answer can only be “Yes, I do” or “No, I do not”.
Q8.
• a can fly kite you
Answer

Can you fly a kite?

How to build it: This is another yes-or-no question. It begins with Can, because we are asking whether you are able to do something. Then you, then fly, then a kite.

All eight questions together:

Jumbled wordsThe question

the many are how birds on treeHow many birds are on the tree?

Two things to check every time, exactly as the book reminds you: begin the question with a capital letter, and put a question mark (?) at the end.
