To create questions from statements, you typically invert the subject and verb. Each sentence can be turned into a question by starting with 'Is' or 'Are' depending on the subject. This transformation helps in correctly forming interrogative sentences in English.

To create questions from given sentences, we generally need to rearrange the sentence structure to change from a statement to a question. Here’s how you can transform each sentence:
Sentence: 'He is a brave boy.' Question: 'Is he a brave boy?'
We make this a question by moving the word 'is' to the beginning of the sentence.
Sentence: 'There is no mouse in the house.' Question: 'Is there a mouse in the house?'
We turn this into a question by asking if the condition described is true or not, replacing 'there is no' with 'is there a'.
Sentence: 'The doors are not shut.' Question: 'Are the doors shut?'
We form the question by moving 'are' to the front and omitting 'not' to ask if the doors are shut or not.
Sentence: 'The girls are singing.' Question: 'Are the girls singing?'
We change the order to start with 'are' to make it a question.
Sentence: 'The boys are ill.' Question: 'Are the boys ill?'
We rearrange the sentence to begin with 'are' to form a question.
Sentence: 'She was late for school.' Question: 'Was she late for school?'
We make this a question by moving 'was' to the start of the sentence.
Sentence: 'He is an honest man.' Question: 'Is he an honest man?'
We make it a question by placing 'is' at the beginning.
In each case, the auxiliary verb (like 'is', 'are', or 'was') is moved to the beginning of the sentence to make a question. This structure is very common in English when creating yes/no questions.
