Part 2: Order the words to make the questions



1. Does she collect stickers?
*(Present Simple question)*
2. Do they play a game?
*(Present Simple question)*
3. Where did the cat sleep?
*(Past Simple Wh- question)*
4. Did Anna open the window?
*(Past Simple Yes/No question)*
5. How does she go home? (Or: *Does she go home by bus?*)
*(Note: Since there is no question word like "How", the most likely structure is a Yes/No question using all words: Does she go home by bus?)*
6. Who works in the garden?
*(Wh- question asking about the subject)*
7. Can you sing a song? (Or: *Will you sing a song?*)
*(Note: The prompt lists "you / a song / sing". It is missing an auxiliary verb like "do/can/will". Assuming "Can" or "Do" is implied or missing from the list, a common question is: Do you sing a song? or Can you sing a song? Given the other questions use auxiliaries, let's assume a standard formation. If strictly following the words provided without adding extras, it might be an imperative, but these are questions. Let's look closer at item 7. It says `you / a song / sing`. Usually, these exercises imply an auxiliary. Let's assume Do you sing a song? or perhaps Will you sing a song? based on context clues from other questions. However, looking at #8 and #9, they include auxiliaries. #7 seems to be missing one. Let's assume Do is missing or it's Can. A safe bet for school grammar is often Do you sing a song? or if it's ability Can you sing a song?. Let's stick to the visible words + standard auxiliary 'Do' for Present Simple: Do you sing a song?)*
*Correction*: Looking at the pattern, sometimes "Can" is omitted in bad prints, or it's meant to be Will you sing a song? Let's look at #8: `the cat/eat/will/mice` -> Will the cat eat mice? So #7 is likely missing an auxiliary. Let's provide the most logical grammatical question: Do you sing a song? (If "Can" was intended, it would usually be listed).

*Let's re-read carefully.* Ah, wait. Look at #10: `mother/buy/will/shoes/boots`. It has "will". #8 has "will". #9 has "will". #7 does NOT have an auxiliary listed. This is tricky. Is it possible it's Did you sing a song? No "did". Is it Are you singing a song? No "are".
Actually, looking at #1, #2, #3... they don't always list the auxiliary if it's "Do/Does" in some simplified worksheets, BUT #1 has "she/to collect/stickers" -> "Does she collect...". So the auxiliary is added.
So for #7: Do you sing a song?

8. Will the cat eat mice?
9. Why will the teacher be angry?
10. Will mother buy shoes or boots?
