Direct question
From Hull AWE
There are two main ways of forming questions in English. The first is the yes-no question; the second is the wh-question. The first of these expects the answer 'yes' or the answer 'no': "do you agree?" In other words, it is seeking either agreement (the answer 'yes') or denial (the answer 'no').
