Fragen in den verschiedenen Zeitformen bilden

Das Wichtigste in Kürze

Für einen guten Sprachgebrauch ist es zentral, Fragen stellen zu können – und zwar in allen Zeitformen. Wie Du das auf Englisch tun kannst, lernst Du in der folgenden Zusammenfassung. Wie Du die dazugehörigen Zeitformen und Verneinungen bildest und verwendest, kannst Du in separaten Zusammenfassungen nachlesen.

Info 1: Gegenwart

„Present simple“

Um eine Frage im „present simple“ zu stellen, nimmt man zuerst die konjugierte Form von „to do“, nennt danach das Subjekt und schliesslich die Grundform des Verbs. Wie so oft ist das Verb „to be“ eine Ausnahme.

Person	to play (regelm.)	to be (unregelm.)	to have (unregelm.)
1. Pers. Sg.	Do I play?	Am I?	Do I have?
2. Pers. Sg.	Do you play?	Are you?	Do you have?
3. Pers. Sg.	Does she play?	Is it?	Does he have?
1. Pers. Pl.	Do we play?	Are we?	Do we have?
2. Pers. Pl.	Do you play?	Are you?	Do you have?
3. Pers. Pl.	Do they play?	Are they?	Do they have?

„present continuous“

Wenn man eine Frage im „present continuous“ stellen muss, kommt zuerst das konjugierte Hilfsverb „to be“, dann das Subjekt und zum Schluss das „present participle“ (bzw. die „-ing“-Form).

Person	to walk (regelm.)	to be (unregelm.)	to have (unregelm.)
1. Pers. Sg.	Am I walking?	Am I being?	Am I having?
2. Pers. Sg.	Are you walking?	Are you being?	Are you having?
3. Pers. Sg.	Is she walking?	Is he being?	Is it having?
1. Pers. Pl.	Are we walking?	Are we being?	Are we having?
2. Pers. Pl.	Are you walking?	Are you being?	Are you having?
3. Pers. Pl.	Are they walking?	Are they being?	Are they having?

Info 2: Zukunft

„will-future“

Formuliert man eine Frage im „will-future“, so beginnt diese mit „will“, gefolgt vom Subjekt und der Grundform des Verbs.

Person	to play (regelm.)	to be (unregelm.)	to have (unregelm.)
1. Pers. Sg.	Will I play?	Will I be?	Will I have?
2. Pers. Sg.	Will you play?	Will you be?	Will you have?
3. Pers. Sg.	Will it play?	Will she be?	Will he have?
1. Pers. Pl.	Will we play?	Will we be?	Will we have?
2. Pers. Pl.	Will you play?	Will you be?	Will you have?
3. Pers. Pl.	Will they play?	Will they be?	Will they have?

„going to-future“

Bei Fragen im „going to-future“ kommt zuerst das konjugierte Hilfsverb „to be“, dann das Subjekt, gefolgt von „going to“ und der Grundform des Verbs.

Person	to talk (regelm.)	to be (unregelm.)	to have (unregelm.)
1. Pers. Sg.	Am I going to talk?	Am I going to be?	Am I going to have?
2. Pers. Sg.	Are you going to talk?	Are you going to be?	Are you going to have?
3. Pers. Sg.	Is she going to talk?	Is it going to be?	Is he going to have?
1. Pers. Pl.	Are we going to talk?	Are we going to be?	Are we going to have?
2. Pers. Pl.	Are you going to talk?	Are you going to be?	Are you going to have?
3. Pers. Pl.	Are they going to talk?	Are they going to be?	Are they going to have?

Info 3: Vergangenheit

„past simple“

Um eine Frage im „past simple“ zu stellen, fügst Du das Hilfsverb „did“, dann das Subjekt und schliesslich die Grundform des Verbs zusammen. „To be“ braucht kein Hilfsverb, hierbei fragst Du einfach „was/were“ gefolgt vom Subjekt.

Person	to like (regelm.)	to be (unregelm.)	to have (unregelm.)
1. Pers. Sg.	Did I like?	Was I?	Did I have?
2. Pers. Sg.	Did you like?	Were you?	Did you have?

2. Pers. Pl.	Did you like?	Were you?	Did you have?
3. Pers. Pl.	Did they like?	Were they?	Did they have?

„past continuous“

Für Fragen im „past continuous“ kann man als ersten Schritt die Fragesätze im „past simple“ von „to be“ übernehmen, danach das Subjekt nennen und schliesslich das „present participle“ hinzufügen.

Person	to eat (unregelm.)	to be (unregelm.)	to have (unregelm.)
1. Pers. Sg.	Was I eating?	Was I being?	Was I having?
2. Pers. Sg.	Were you eating?	Were you being?	Were you having?

1. Pers. Pl.	Were we eating?	Were we being?	Were we having?
2. Pers. Pl.	Were you eating?	Were you being?	Were you having?
3. Pers. Pl.	Were they eating?	Were they being?	Were they having?

„present perfect“

Fragen im „present perfect“ beginnen mit dem konjugierten Hilfsverb „to have“, gefolgt vom Subjekt und schliesslich dem „past participle“ (Partizip 2) des Verbs.

Person	to cut (unregelm.)	to be (unregelm.)	to have (unregelm.)
1. Pers. Sg.	Have I cut?	Have I been?	Have I had?
