Yes No Question :
Definition: An
interrogative construction that expects an answer of "yes" or
"no." Contrast with wh- question.

(The Simpsons)
"Directing a movie is a very overrated job, we all know
it. You just have to say 'yes' or 'no.' What else do you do? Nothing. 'Maestro,
should this be red?' Yes. 'Green?' No. 'More extras?' Yes. 'More lipstick?' No.
Yes. No. Yes. No. That's directing." (Judi Dench as Liliane La Fleur in
Nine, 2009).
Principal
McGee: Are you just going to stand there all day?
Sonny: No
ma'am. I mean, yes ma'am. I mean, no ma'am.
Principal
McGee: Well, which is it?
Sonny:
Um, no ma'am.
(Eve
Arden and Michael Tucci in Grease, 1978)
The yes-no question is found in three varieties: the
inverted question, the typical exemplar of this kind; the inverted question
offering an alternative (which may require more than a simple yes or no for an
answer); and the tag question:
Are you
going? (inversion)
Are you
staying or going? (inversion with alternative)
You're
going, aren't you? (tag)
The inverted question merely inverts the subject and the
first verb of the verb phrase of the corresponding statement pattern when that
verb is either a modal or an auxiliary verb or the verb be and sometimes have.
The question itself may be positive or negative:
She is leaving on Wednesday.
Is she
leaving on Wednesday?
. . . A positive
question appears to be neutral as to the expected response--yes or no. However,
a negative question seems to hold out the distinct possibility of a negative
response.
Are you
going? Yes/No.
Aren't you
going? No.
(Ronald Wardhaugh, Understanding English Grammar: A
Linguistic Approach. Wiley-Blackwell, 2003)
"There are many different ways to format questions on a
survey. Let's say you want to measure people's attitudes toward premarital sex.
You could ask a simple yes-no question:
Are you in
favor of premarital sex?
___ Yes ___ No
Or you could use a Likert-type scale where the question is
phrased as a statement." (Annabel Ness Evans and Bryan J. Rooney, Methods
in Psychological Research, 2nd ed. Sage, 2011) Also Known As: polar
interrogative, polar question, bipolar question
Tag Question :
Question tags are the short questions that we put on the end
of sentences – particularly in spoken English. There are lots of different
question tags but the rules are not difficult to learn.
Positive/negative
If the main part of the sentence is positive, the question
tag is negative ….
He’s a doctor, isn’t he?
You work in a bank, don’t you?
... and if the main part of the sentence is negative, the
question tag is positive.
You haven’t met him, have you?
She isn’t coming, is she?
With auxiliary verbs
The question tag uses the same verb as the main part of the
sentence. If this is an auxiliary verb (‘have’, ‘be’) then the question tag is
made with the auxiliary verb.
They’ve gone away for a few days, haven’t they?
They weren’t here, were they?
He had met him before, hadn’t he?
This isn’t working, is it?
Without auxiliary verbs
If the main part of the sentence doesn’t have an auxiliary
verb, the question tag uses an appropriate form of ‘do’.
I said that, didn’t I?
You don’t recognise me, do you?
She eats meat, doesn’t she?
With modal verbs
If there is a modal verb in the main part of the sentence
the question tag uses the same modal verb.
They couldn’t hear me, could they?
You won’t tell anyone, will you?
With ‘I am’
Be careful with question tags with sentences that start ‘I
am’. The question tag for ‘I am’ is ‘aren’t I?’
I’m the fastest, aren’t I?
Intonation
Question tags can either be ‘real’ questions where you want
to know the answer or simply asking for agreement when we already know the
answer.
If the question tag is a real question we use rising
intonation. Our tone of voice rises.
If we already know the answer we use falling intonation. Our
tone of voice falls.
