EARTH DAY

 

Each year, April 22nd marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.

It means that people around the world are becoming more conscious of the urgent need to reduce pollution and save our green and blue planet.

QUASIMODO

Hi everyone! 

QUASImodo is a fictional character who can help us to remember the order of any question. 

He was the protagonist of the novel the Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo. He was born with a hunchback and feared by the townspeople as a sort of monster.

If you think about the first part of his name, you will never forget the structure of a question:

QUestion+Auxiliary+Subject + Infinitive (....)?

Look at these questions and check the structure in each question:

 Where do you live?

When do you start school?

What time do you wake up?

Why do birds sing?

How do you spell your name?

and...if you don't use a Question word, you have to follow ASI ;D

Auxiliary+Subject+Infitive...?    Yes/No.....

Do you cook?

Do you study English?

Do you like pasta?
