Answer: Yes, I am married.

framing questions transformation of sentences english

  1. Have you married?

  2. Are you married?

  3. Will you marry?

  4. Did you marry?

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The reply here gives 'Yes' as the answer. The syntax for an interrogative sentence is: Helping verb + subject + main verb  ........?

(Here, a Wh question cannot be framed because the answer is 'Yes'. If the answer is 'Yes/No', then the interrogative sentence starts with a helping verb rather than a Wh word). The tense of the answer is the simple present tense. So, the tense of the question should also be in the simple present tense. Therefore, the correct option is: Are you married?
