In English Language, to change the affirmative into interrogative form, “am” is used for the subject pronoun “I”, “are” for We/You/They and “is” for He/She/It. In Afaan Oromoo, the long vowl "-aa" is added to show "ing" form of the main verb. However, the helping verb (verb to be) adds different morphemes on the stem as can be seen in the following.
