Forming Interrogatives

Worksheet Description

The “Unscramble the Questions” worksheet provides students with a set of jumbled words, which, when rearranged correctly, form coherent questions. The words are color-coded, presumably to indicate the different questions they belong to. Students must decipher the correct word order to form a sensible question, which requires an understanding of English sentence structure, particularly the formation of interrogative sentences.

This worksheet aims to teach students how to construct questions correctly in English. It reinforces their understanding of grammar, especially the typical subject-verb-object order in interrogative sentences, and the placement of auxiliary verbs and question words like “when,” “where,” “what,” and “how.” Through this exercise, students develop critical thinking and syntactical arrangement skills, as they must logically organize the words to form questions that make sense contextually. It also encourages them to think about punctuation, as questions end with a question mark.
