yes/no question
Two-answer query
A yes/no question is one that can be answered with yes or no, as opposed to open-ended questions requiring explanation: Are you coming? versus Why are you late?
In grammar, yes/no questions typically invert subject and verb or use auxiliary verbs: Is she ready?
Did you eat?
