❓ Flip It First (To Be Questions)

Yes/no questions with to be are easy: put am / is / are before the subject. Then answer with a short form like Yes, I am. or No, he isn't. It is like turning the first two words around.

  • Example: Are you tired?
  • Example: Yes, I am.

Quick Rule

  • Are you ...? → Yes, I am. / No, I'm not.
  • Is he ...? → Yes, he is. / No, he isn't.
  • Are they ...? → Yes, they are. / No, they aren't.

Flip first, answer short, and the question is ready to go.
