Interview 2 - language points

Asking about times

(At) what time...?

The word 'at' is often omitted from the question in normal speech.

I get up at seven o'clock. / I get up at seven.

I arrive home at five forty-five. / I arrive home at a quarter to six.

Questions using the verb to be

'Do' and 'does' are not used when forming questions with the

verb 'to be - is, are, was, were'. Questions are formed by

changing the position of the verb and subject.
