| Abstract | ||
| The central goal of this study is to present the yes-no questions in transformational grammar. Furthermore, the study aims at contrasting the transformation of yes, no questions in English with their counterparts in standard Arabic in an attempt to clarify the areas of possible difficulties that may face Arabic learners in learning the formation of this kind of questions . This study has made a comparison of the yes-no question in English and Arabic. Since the movement of the auxiliary is more familiar in English than in Arabic. It was natural that the focus of this paper is on the English part of the subject. It is hoped that such a contrastive study will achieve, even little good presentation to simplify the areas of difficulty of learning this grammatical element. Consequently, we come to reduce that the Arabic system of the yes-no question is different from the English one. Therefore, a native speaker of Arabic why is learning English will transfer his native speaker habits and results in interference .Roughly speaking, the pedagogical considerations are not the main purpose of such comparison. The yes, no question transformation, we have mainly addition and rearrangement. Although this kind of transformation may lead us to their kinds of questions such as tag questions. The researcher is going to limit this paper to the ordinary yes-no questions in English and Arabic, taking into account other important yes-no questions (i.e., the passive question transformation). | ||
