 Present Progressive (Questions) 
Questions have a different word order from sentences. There are two kinds of questions (see Know More U1L3). In both, the helping verb always comes before the subject of the question. In the Present Progressive the helping verb is be. Yes / No questions use be (am / is / are) + the subject + Ving. For example: Are you playing the drums?
Is he cooking?
Wh- Questions use a question word + be (am / is / are) + the subject + Ving.
Wh- questions that ask about the subject of the sentence are different, and are called subject questions. We use who to ask about people and what to ask about objects. Both questions always take the singular verb is. For example: Who is listening? Ed and Nikki are listening.
What is making noise? The drums are making noise.
Who is cooking? Moby is cooking. Note that even though the answer is in the plural, these questions take the singular verb is. Short Answers We can also give short answers. When talking, people usually give short answers. In the Present Progressive we do this with the subject and the verb be. For example: Are you playing drums? Yes, you are.
Am I doing my homework now? No, I'm not.
Who is playing the drums? Moby is. Reading When the letter e comes at the end of a word, after a vowel and a consonant, the vowel sounds like its own name (a, e, i, o, u). For example: a – make ( sounds like a ).
