Verb
questions that require the interlocutor to confirm or deny the words expressed in the question. General questions are asked to the entire sentence and therefore require an affirmative or negative answer.
For example
Can I give you anything to read? Yes or no
For example
When did she come back? – A week ago.
If the verb to be (am, is, are, was, were) or to have (have, has, had) in the form of Present Simple or Past Simple acts as a predicate in a sentence, then this verb is placed in the first place before the subject and appears as an auxiliary.
the structure of the question always remains unchanged: the interrogative word, the auxiliary word, the subject, the main verb. So, the most obvious difference between open-ended and closed-ended questions is the question word. But there is another noticeable difference - intonation.
