Question formation
The developmental progression in how children learn to form questions, moving from simple intonation questions to inverted yes-no and wh- questions.
Real World
Children's TV programmes like CBeebies' 'Bluey' feature characters asking questions that mirror real developmental stages — early episodes show Bluey using rising intonation ('We going?') while later interactions show fully inverted forms ('Can we go?').
Exam Focus
Distinguish wh- question stages clearly: early uninverted forms ('What that?') versus later inverted forms ('What is that?') show grammatical progression.
