An alternative question in the English language

What question is called the alternative?

Introduction.

Different types of alternative question

We can also ask alternative questions using or not? This is a very direct question and sometimes it can express annoyance or impatience:

[choice 1]Are you coming [choice 2]or not?

[choice 1]Do you want to go to the cinema [choice 2]or not?

Alternative questions can be answered as yes-no questions, depending on the context:

A:

Are there trains or buses from the airport to Belgrade?

B:

Yes, there are. (There are both trains and buses.)

(or There’s a train./There’s a bus.)

Alternative questions can be wh-questions:

Which do you prefer, with or without salt?

Which is best, to water the plant every day or just once a week?

An alternative question in the English language

In English, there are five types of questions: general (general question), special (special question), separation (disjunctive / tag question), alternative (alernative question) issue to the subject and the question (question to the subject). To learn more about each of these questions, and you can see «Types of questions or interrogative sentences in the English language», which is located in the «Grammar» on our blog. In this article, we examine the alternative question in English.

What question is called the alternative?

This kind of question in English, which means a choice of two persons, objects, actions, qualities, etc. This question can be set to any member of the proposal. That is, the alternative question — a question which will be used in the Union or (or).

The beginning of an alternative question can be auxiliary or modal verb. For example, take the proposal to form questions: He sent a beautiful postcard to his mother two days ago. It is very warm outside at this time of the year. That is what could be the alternative to the first question saying:

Did he send a postcard or a letter two days ago? — He sent a postcard or a letter two days ago?

Did he send a postcard to his mother yesterday or two days ago? — He sent his mother a postcard yesterday or two days ago?

Did he send the postcard to his mother or his sister? — He sent a postcard to his mother or sister?

But the alternative questions to a proposal:

Is it cold or warm outside? — On the street heat or cold?

Is it warm inside or ouside? — Heat on the street or at home?

Is it often warm outside or only at this time of the year? — The street is often heat or only at this time of year?

If the alternative question contains not one auxiliary verb, but several, the first we put before the subject, and the rest just after it.

He has been studying for several years. — He is studying for several years. Has he been studying or working for several years? — He is a student or working a few years?

Alternative question in English can also begin with a question word. Then this question is directly from the special issue, followed by the two homogeneous parts of the sentence, which are connected by a union or. For example:

When were you interrupted: at the beginning or in the middle of your speech? — When you are interrupted in the beginning or middle of a speech?

We usually form alternative questions with an auxiliary verb (be, do or have) + subject + main verb or with a modal verb + subject + main verb:

Are we eating in or out this evening? (answer: We’re eating in. or We’re eating out.)

Does she work in the city or in the suburbs? (answer: She works in the city. or She works in the suburbs.)

Will they buy a house or rent somewhere? (answer: They’ll buy a house. or They’ll rent somewhere.)

Warning:

When we ask alternative questions using the main verb be, we don’t use an auxiliary verb. The word order is: be + subject:

Is this the front or the back of the dress?
