QASI

Question formation can cause problems for a lot of students, but there is an easy way to remember what happens - the mnemonic QASI (pronounced like the English word quasi - meaning almost).
  • Q - question word
  • A - auxiliary
  • S - subject
  • I - infinitive
Verb would perhaps be a better description than infinitive, but QASV isn't quite so easy to say.
Now look at this table and see how the word order follows the QASI pattern. This shows the standard question structure for verbs other than be, although as we don't have a question word in Yes/Noquestions we only have ASI.

AuxiliarySubjectInfinitivethe rest of the sentence

questions
(closed)
simple-Didyougetan invitation?
continuous-Areyougoingto the party?
perfect-Hadheseenher lately?
modal-Wouldshegoagain?
wh-word questions
(open)
simpleWhodidyouseeat the party?
continuousWhathashedirectedlately?
perfectWherehaveyouputthe coffee?
modalWhencouldshefinishit?
Now in all the previous examples, the wh-word referred to the object or an adverbial. But what about when who/what etc refers to the subject?

The one exception to QASI and the rule about adding do/does/did to simple tense questions, is when the wh-word refers to the subject, In that case, we don't add an auxiliary. In practice this mainly happens with who, what and which. But remember, this is the exception rather than the rule. So now we have a different table.
