1
Do you find it difficult to ask questions in English?
2
That may be because there is something that most teachers don't teach you and most books don't show you.
3
And in this lesson, I'm going to explain to you what
4
that technique is so that you will be able to frame the right type of questions at the right time.
5
So, let's get started.
6
So, in order to understand questions, first we have to understand sentences.
7
Alright?
8
So, let's look at these three sample sentences that I've written on the board.
9
So, what happens in an English sentence?
10
An English sentence follows this order.
11
Subject, verb, object.
12
Okay?
13
The subject does the action, the verb is the action itself, and the object receives the action.
14
Okay, that's what we say.
15
For example, John orders pizza, right?
16
Maria manages projects.
17
ABC sells computers.
18
All right, so these were the subject, these were the verb, this is the object.
19
Now, what's the issue here?
20
The point is that in most books and probably in all the grammar that you've been studying, you only learn one way of asking questions.
21
But in real life, there are two different ways.
22
And what's the difference?
23
The difference is, are you asking about the subject or are you asking about the object?
24
Most times you are taught how to frame a question in English based on asking about the object.
25
So, you may be familiar with these kind of questions.
26
Let's look at these questions.
27
What does John order?
28
Pizza.
29
So, you are usually taught that in the present simple tense, which is what this is,
30
you have to add the word does when you have a question or do, right?
31
But that is only when we're asking about the object.
32
Let's look at some more examples.
33
What does Maria manage?
34
Projects.
35
These questions are correct.
36
They're all asking about what?
37
About the object, right?
38
Or what does ABC sell?
39
computers all right so that's fine those are probably the types of questions you've been learning
40
and you've been practicing
41
and they are perfectly correct however they're not the only kind
42
of questions we ask sometimes we want to know about the subject
43
so how do you form that question that's what i'm going to show you right now
44
so here's the first one about john who orders pizza
45
we're asking about the subject what's the answer to that question who orders pizza john
46
the second question the second sentence who manages projects maria who sells computers A, B, C.
47
What?
48
No do, no does?
49
No. No do, no does.
50
All right?
51
Why?
52
Because we're asking about the subject here.
53
And we use the do, does, and other forms, which I'll show you when we're asking about the object.
54
And most of the time, this is what students master, which is great, you need to know this.
55
But they never learn this, but people are using that around them, so they get confused.
56
So, not you, not anymore.
57
Now you know that, oh yeah, I hear that a lot.
58
Now you know how to structure it based on what information you want to know.
59
So, in order for you to know that, think about, am I asking about the subject, who does the action, or am I asking about the object?
60
What receives the action?
61
Okay?
62
So, this was in the present simple tense.
63
I'll show you how the same principle, the same habit will work for you in the past tense and in the future tense.
64
Now let's look at the past simple tense.
65
The same sentences, but changed to the past.
66
John ordered pizza.
67
Maria managed projects.
68
ABC sold computers.
69
Right?
70
Same structure, Subject, verb, object.
71
So if you want to ask about the subject, what do you ask?
72
You say, who ordered pizza?
73
John. Who managed projects?
74
Maria. Who sold computers?
75
ABC.
76
And why did we ask the questions like that?
77
Remember?
78
Because we're asking about the subject.
79
So we didn't need any extra words.
80
We just asked directly who ordered, who managed, who sold.
81
All right?
82
Great.
83
Of course, if you're asking about the object, then we have to add the word did into our question in the past simple tense.
84
What did John order?
85
Pizza.
86
What did Maria manage?
87
What did ABC sell?
88
Computers.
89
Now, it doesn't have to be what.
90
It could be that Maria managed the team.
91
Then we would ask, who did Maria manage?
92
Who did Maria manage?
93
The team.
94
Alright?
95
So, this first word will depend a little bit on what the object is.
96
the object refers to people then you may have to ask a different use a different question word here
97
but the structure will say the same if you're asking about the object
98
and the structure remains the same
99
if you're asking about the subject now let's look at the
100
future tense the same basic structure now with the future john will order pizza maria will manage projects ABC will sell computers.
101
Right?
102
Subject, verb, object.
103
Basic structure.
104
So, if I want to know about the subject, I ask, who will order pizza?
105
John.
106
Who will manage projects?
107
Maria.
108
Who will sell computers?
109
ABC.
110
Right?
111
That's when we were asking about the subject.
112
And if we need to ask about the object, then we say, What will John order?
113
Pizza.
114
What will Maria manage?
115
Projects.
116
Or what will ABC sell?
117
Computers.
118
Got it?
119
This is a huge change from what you might be used to when you're asking questions.
120
You probably do know this part about asking about the object,
121
but you may not have ever realized or been taught that there is this whole other way of asking questions, which is not difficult.
122
As you saw, it's really easier in many ways.
123
All right?
124
So, the same thing will happen.
125
We're going to stop here.
126
But the same thing happens when you use other more advanced tenses.
127
For example, if you used present perfect and you said, John has ordered pizza, then you would ask, who has ordered pizza?
128
John.
129
What has John ordered?
130
Pizza.
131
And so on.
132
You could do it with the present perfect, the past perfect, and all of those tenses.
133
And all of the tenses.
134
Okay?
135
Not just the ones I've shown you, but this explains the principle.
136
And I hope after this, and I'm sure after this, the whole way you think about English questions
137
and the way you use them will be so much stronger and so much more correct.
138
All right?
139
So, after this, if you like, please go to our website at www.engvid.com, do the quiz on this,
140
really master these principles, and then you can go forward into much better, stronger, more confident English.

Bye for now.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

Se você quer melhorar sua prática de conversação em inglês e aprender a fazer perguntas de forma natural, este vídeo é uma ferramenta essencial. Muitos alunos lutam para formular perguntas corretas porque não aprendem a diferença entre perguntar sobre o sujeito e o objeto de uma frase. Com essa lição, você descobre uma técnica secreta que deixa suas perguntas mais precisas e fluidas, o que é perfeito para quem usa o shadowspeak (imitação de falas) para treinar. Ao praticar com os exemplos do vídeo, você não só entende a gramática, mas também desenvolve a confiança para falar em situações reais.

Gramática e expressões no contexto

O vídeo analisa estruturas chave que mudam a forma como você faz perguntas. Veja os pontos principais:

  • Ordem sujeito-verbo-objeto (SVO): Frases como "John orders pizza" seguem essa estrutura, onde o sujeito (John) executa a ação (orders), e o objeto (pizza) a recebe. Essa base é fundamental para entender as perguntas.
  • Perguntas sobre o objeto: Para perguntar sobre o que John pede, usamos "What does John order?". Aqui, o auxiliar "does" é necessário porque a pergunta se refere ao objeto. Essa é a forma mais ensinada, mas não a única.
  • Perguntas sobre o sujeito: Quando queremos saber quem executa a ação, a estrutura muda. Em "Who orders pizza?", não usamos "does" – a pergunta começa com "who" e segue o verbo diretamente. Isso é crucial para evitar erros comuns.

Armadilhas comuns de pronúncia

Além da gramática, o vídeo ajuda a melhorar a pronúncia em inglês ao destacar palavras que podem causar confusão. Por exemplo, a palavra "does" (usada em perguntas sobre o objeto) é frequentemente pronunciada de forma rápida, com o som "dəz" (não "dʌz"). Já "orders" e "manages" têm a terminação "-s" suave, que deve ser pronunciada como "z" em vez de "s". Ao praticar o shadowspeaks com essas frases, você aprende a articular essas palavras corretamente, deixando sua fala mais natural.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
