Final answer:
The correct method for changing sentences into questions is to invert the word order, typically by placing the auxiliary verb before the subject.
Step-by-step explanation:
For sentences without an auxiliary, use 'do', 'does', or 'did'. Examples are demonstrated with the given sentences.
The correct answer to transforming sentences into questions by inverting the word order involves moving the auxiliary verb or helping verb before the subject. For sentences without an auxiliary verb, you generally introduce a form of 'do' (do, does, did) before the subject when converting statements into questions. Here are the revisions for the example sentences:
- I finally found my keys, and I got to work just in time. (Becomes “Did I finally find my keys and get to work just in time?”)
- Mrs. Contreras threw out her old coffee table and cleaned the carpet. (Becomes “Did Mrs. Contreras throw out her old coffee table and clean the carpet?”)
- Taking the elevator to the roof, we hoped we could see the skyline, and the bay. (Becomes “Did we hope to see the skyline and the bay by taking the elevator to the roof?”)
- Though Susan wasn't feeling well, she went to the store anyway to buy ice cream, pizza, and candy. (Becomes “Even though Susan wasn't feeling well, did she go to the store to buy ice cream, pizza, and candy?”)
- I let my neighbor borrow my phone because she said hers was tapped by the police. (Becomes “Did I let my neighbor borrow my phone because she said hers was tapped by the police?”)
