Question 1:
Choose the sentence with the right word order
A. When did Apollo 11 land on the Moon?
Feedback In the test sentence we are given a wh-question, because it contains the question word ‘when’.The word order in ‘wh-questions’ is similar to ‘Yes/No questions’, but in ‘wh-questions’ question words ‘when’, ‘what’, ‘who’, ‘whose’, ‘where’, ‘how’, ‘which’, ‘why’ are put at the beginning of the sentences: wh-+ an auxiliary verb (be, do/does or have) + subject + main verb OR wh- + a modal verb+ subject + main verb: What have you been doing without us all this time?Therefore, we are to choose ANSWER 1: When (the question word) did (the auxiliary verb) Apollo 11(the subject) land (the main verb) on the Moon (the adverbial modifier of place)?
B. When Apollo 11 did land on the Moon?
C. Did Apollo 11 land on the Moon when?
D. When did land Apollo 11 on the Moon?
