Answers
Yes / No questions are also called closed
questions because there are only two
possible responses: Yes or No.
When forming a Yes / No question, it must
include one of these verbs: BE, DO, HAVE,
or a modal verb. It is impossible to ask
a Yes / No question without one of these
verbs.
Yes/No questions
Auxiliary + noun/pronoun + verb
Examples:
Are + you + leaving?
Is + Ahmad + here?
Do + you + work?

restaurant.

interesting.

More examples
Let’s practice 
When we want to show that something belongs to
somebody or something, we usually add an
apostrophe + s ('s) to a singular noun and an
apostrophe (') to a plural noun, for example:
the boy's ball (one boy)
the boys' ball (two or more boys)
2. Possessive “s”
One ball
More than one
ball
One boy
The boy’s ball
The boy’s balls
More than one boy
The boys’ ball
The boys’ balls
Examples
We very often use possessive 's with names:
This is Mary's car.
Where is Ram's telephone?
Who took Anthony's pen?
I like Tara's hair.
When a name ends in s, we usually treat it
like any other singular noun, and add 's:
This is Charles's chair.
Proper Nouns (Names)
Some nouns have irregular plural forms
without s (man → men). To show possession, we
usually add 's to the plural form of these nouns:
Singular noun
Plural noun
My child's dog
My children's dog
The man's work
The men's work
The mouse's cage
The mice's cage
A person's clothes
People's clothes

Answers
An adjective is a word that modifies a noun to tell you
more about it.
Adjectives never change. They are never plural.
For example:This is a nice cake.
Adjectives go before their nouns.
They're nice people.
I have a small house.
She is a beautiful lady.
