Questions in English sometimes start with an interrogative pronoun. Watch the followingvideo by click on the picture below and remember some of them before going on withthe interrogative forms in the Present Simple and the Present Continuous Tenses.

Wh Questions

Is there any difference between umpire and referee?

Umpire comes from the Middle English wordnoumpere, which derives from the Old Frenchnomper, that meant 'different, odd'. The idea wasthat the umpire was at a different level and he wasan impartial authority in legal disputes (nowadays,the legal term arbitrator is used with this

meaning.) Theword umpirewas laterassociated tothe person who controls that the rules of a sportare followed correctly. He has the same functionsas a referee, but he's called umpire in badminton,baseball, cricket and tennis.

The word referee was originally used in 1621 torefer to someone appointed by the BritishParliament to examine patent applications. It is

formed from the verb "to refer" followed by thesuffix -ee. In 1690 the word was used to make reference to an arbitrator in a dispute.Much later, by 1840 it started to be used in sports to refer to the judge of play, as itis used nowadays.

First of all, we are going through the interrogative pattern in the Present Simple Tense inEnglish.

How is Paco feeling today?

Sometimes we find some confusion between the uses of the Present Continuous and

the Present Simple Tenses. To avoid these misunderstandings, Spanish learners ofEnglish should not translate literally from English into Spanish.

If we translate this sentence into Spanish literally, it does not make any sense:cmo se est sintiendo Paco hoy?. A more suitable translation would be using theSimple Present Tense: cmo se siente Paco hoy?, qu tal est Paco hoy?.

Something similar occurs with the expression How are you doing?when it is used as agreeting, and it means How are you?, or What's going on?which means qu ocurre,qu pasa?

Here you have a brief revision about some usual greetings in English.

If you still have any doubt to distinguish the uses of the Present Simple and thePresent Continuous tenses, learn more about them.

In order to revise both the affirmative and the negative forms as well as theinterrogative ones, practice here with this test about the Present Simple and the

Present Continuous tenses.

In the next section we are going to learn about intonation in English. It is not a difficultmatter, but you need to pay attention to it and, above all, open your ears to identify theenglish intonation patterns.

4. "Do you really want to hurt me?"

A good exercise to show the variety of meanings through intonation changes is totake a single sentence, try stressing each word in turn, and see the totally differentmeanings that come out.

1. I didn't say he stole the money.2. I didn't say he stole the money.3. I didn't say he stole the money.4. I didn't say he stole the money.5. I didn't say he stole the money.6. I didn't say he stole the money.7. I didn't say he stole the money.

Now that you have listened to these sentences repeatthem aloud yourself.

Listen to the song: Do you really want to hurt me?, by Culture Club. It is one ofPaco's favourite ones. Paco likes music a lot and he also learns English through songs.

English is a very rhythmic language because only certain, important words areaccented.For this reason, you should practice listening as much as possible.

Notice the rising intonation in some questions you are going to listen to inthis song.

Every language has melody in it; no language is spoken on the same musical note asthe time. The voice goes up and down and different pitches of the voice combine tomake tunes. That is intonation. Watch the following video about intonation:
