Who, why, what and when are all words used when asking questions. We ask questions without giving much thought to how we actually construct a question. In English, there are two main ways of forming a question: either by inverting the subject and the main verb or by the use of an auxiliary verb (a helping verb).

  • 'He is swimming in the lake. - Is he swimming in the lake?' (inversion)
  • 'He studies hard. - Does he study hard? (does is the auxiliary/helping verb).

Before tissues, people used handkerchiefs. Men and women would carry a piece of cloth in their pocket or purse. They had these with them at all times in case they needed to wipe their nose and dab their eyes. Then the Kimberly Clark company invented tissues to be used to wipe off make-up. Sometimes, actors and actresses would use cream to wipe off their make-up. However, they needed something to wipe the cream off. That is why this company invented tissues.
