For example:
                    • Are you coming to the party?
                    • Did you finish your homework?


                 Framing Close-ended Questions
                 We can form close-ended questions by adding two types of auxiliary verbs (helping verbs):
                    • Basic Auxiliary Verbs

                   Be, Do, Have: These verbs help convey different aspects of the action or state in a sentence.
                    • Modal Auxiliary Verbs
                   Can, Shall, May, Should, Could: These verbs express possibility, necessity, permission, or ability.
                 Another way of framing close-ended questions is to take a sentence without the above words and place such
                 words before the subject.


                 Open-Ended Questions
                 Open-ended  questions are designed to encourage  more detailed  and  expressive responses. They cannot  be
                 answered with just a "yes" or "no" and often require more thought and explanation. Examples:
                    • What do you think about the new project?
                    • How did you feel about the movie?


                 Framing Open-ended Questions
                 Some questions are called open-ended because their answers are not limited or closed. They have to be answered
                 with more information than just a "yes" or a "no". We can form open-ended questions by using question words,
                 such as What, Why, Who, How, When and Where.
