There are several ways to construct interrogative sentences.

<o:p>The most difficult part of learning interrogative structures is getting used to the inverted subject and verb = Verb + Subject.
The best way to learn this difficult structure is to practice writing using the inverted subject and verb structure.</o:p>

This little exercise will focus on creating questions using various auxiliary verbs.

The inverted pattern/form/structure of the sentence is as follows:
Auxiliary verb + Subject + Main verb

- have
- modal verbs (the main verb used with modal verbs is always in the bare infinitive form (infinitive without the 'to')... can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, must

I will correct any errors, but only if you ask me to make corrections. <o:p></o:p>

Remember:  Auxiliary verb + Subject + Main verb

- Are you coming to the party?<o:p></o:p>

- Do you want to go to the party?<o:p></o:p>

- Have you decided to go to the party?<o:p></o:p>

- Can you come to the party?<o:p></o:p>

- Could you bring me to the party?<o:p></o:p>

- May I invite a friend to your party?<o:p></o:p>

- Might the party be cancelled?  [NOTE: this is an unusual, uncommon use of the verb 'might', and the sentence is rather formal]<o:p></o:p>

- Will the party be cancelled?<o:p></o:p>

- Would you like to go to the party?<o:p></o:p>

- Shall I pick you up to take you to the party?  [using 'shall' is a tad formal - normally we would say "Do you want me to... OR Should I...

- Should we bring a bottle of wine to the party?

<o:p></o:p>

- Must we RSVP before the party?  ['must we' is formal, so we usually say "Do we have to RSVP... "]<o:p></o:p>

[NOTE: RSVP or R.S.V.P. is a French expression (verb and noun) that has been integrated into English.
 RSVP means:  r(épondez) s('il) v(ous) p(laît) = please reply (to a written or verbal invitation)]<o:p></o:p>
