Now let's talk about the questions
Sometimes we ask questions that have a yes or no answer.
When that question is in the past we used did
Did he steal your bike? Yes, he stole my bike.
Steal becomes stole
When the answer is no
we use didn’t to show the past
Did he steal your bike? No, he didn't steal my bike.
Sometimes the word doesn't change at all.
Did he put a lock on it? Yes, he put a lock on it. No, he didn't put a lock on it.
Let's go on
Ok, I am going to do it for jog.
Try listening to the language
The sound of yes-or-no questions goes up at the end
Listen for the word something
O: Did you lock it to something
Did you hear it it's a yes-or-no question so the sound goes up look at this question
Does this question go up at the end?
O: So where exactly did you leave it
Now the sound didn't go up
This is not a yes or no question
What do you think about this question - is that yes or no does it go up
O: Did the thief break the lock?
W: Yes he broke it all right
yes it did get a lot
 
Review Points
So in today today's lesson we've learned that when you ask the question with a yes or no answer your voice goes up at the end
Does that make sense
Did he steal your bike? Yes, he did. No, he didn't.
