***** NOT A TEACHER *****
That is a wonderful "secret" that many students do not know about.
If an English learner is not sure about how to start a question with Is? Was? Do? Does? Did? Have? Has? etc.,
simply say a regular sentence and raise your voice toward the end of the sentence:
Excuse me. You speak ENGLISH?
He visited you YESTERDAY?
You want some ICE CREAM?
Mr. X has been elected PRESIDENT?
You are going to marry MONA?
Of course, a person should not do this on a regular basis -- only in an "emergency." And when you become fluent in
English, you can then use this method naturally -- as native speakers do. That is, native speakers use this method in
certain situations: Mona is getting MARRIED? ( = Did you say that Mona is getting married?)
