The document provides guidance on how to form yes/no questions in English. It explains that questions can be formed from statements containing "is" or "are" by switching the order. For statements containing other verbs, an auxiliary verb like "do" or "does" needs to be added. Examples are given for both types of questions along with sample answers. The purpose is to teach English learners how to properly structure yes/no questions.
