Yes/no questions, on the other hand, are designed to elicit a simple "yes" or "no" response. They typically begin with an auxiliary verb (be, do, have) or a modal verb (can, could, will, would, etc.). These questions are perfect for checking facts, seeking agreement, or requesting permission.

examples afirmative:
