Let’s go through each sentence one by one and turn them into Yes/No questions, just like the example.
The example was:
Statement: The girl is cute.
Question: Is the girl cute? (we used “is” because the verb in the statement is “is”)
We need to pick the right helping verb from the options given in parentheses for each question.
---
1)
Mizah is tired. → (can / is)
→ We use “is” because the original sentence has “is”.
✔ Is Mizah tired?
2)
Penguins can swim → (can / may)
→ Original verb is “can”, so we start with “Can”.
✔ Can penguin swim? *(Note: It should be “penguins” plural, but since the blank says “penguin”, we’ll keep it as written — maybe a typo, but we follow the worksheet.)*
3)
Sarah is dancing ballet. → (are / is)
→ Subject is “Sarah” (singular), so we use “is”.
✔ Is Sarah dancing ballet?
4)
They are playing badminton. → (are / is)
→ Subject is “They” (plural), so we use “are”.
✔ Are they playing badminton?
5)
We may go to the mall. → (may / can)
→ Original modal verb is “may”, so we start with “May”.
✔ May we go to the mall?
6)
He swims at the beach. → (do / does)
→ Subject is “He” (third person singular), so we use “does”. Also, when we use “does”, the main verb goes back to base form: “swim” not “swims”.
✔ Does he swim at the beach?
7)
They hate monkeys. → (do / does)
→ Subject is “They” (plural), so we use “do”. Verb stays “hate”.
✔ Do they hate monkeys?
8)
She is crying. → No options given, but same pattern as #1 and #3.
→ Subject “She” + verb “is” → Start with “Is”.
✔ Is she crying?

Final Answer:
1) Is Mizah tired?
2) Can penguin swim?
3) Is Sarah dancing ballet?
4) Are they playing badminton?
5) May we go to the mall?
6) Does he swim at the beach?
7) Do they hate monkeys?
8) Is she crying?
