Simple Questions (with "to be")

To ask a question with "to be," move am / is / are to the front of the sentence and add a question mark ( ? ).

StatementQuestion
You are happy.Are you happy?
She is a doctor.Is she a doctor?
It is cold.Is it cold?
They are ready.Are they ready?

Short answers: - Are you tired? — Yes, I am. / No, I'm not. - Is he here? — Yes, he is. / No, he isn't.

Just move "am/is/are" to the front. Keep the rest of the sentence the same.

Common mistake: Adding "do" with "to be." Say "Are you ready?" not "Do you are ready?"
