===Yes–no questions=== A yes–no question can begin with an interrogative subject-verb inversion involving an auxiliary verb (or negative contraction), sometimes even if it is not performing the auxiliary function: * A finite inflection of [[wikt:be#Conjugation|be]] (e.g. Are you hungry?, Are you working from home today?) * A finite inflection of have (e.g. Have you any soup? Hasn’t she eaten lunch?) * A conjugation of [[wikt:do#Conjugation|do]] (e.g. Do you want fries?) - see {{section link|Do-support|In questions}} * A conjugation of a [[wiktionary:Category:English modal verbs|modal verb]] (e.g. Can't you move any faster?) English questions can also be formed without an interrogative word as the first word, by changing the intonation or punctuation of a statement. For example: "You're done eating?"
