analyzing the interrogative sentences found in the bilingual novel the Great Gatsby in the perspectives of syntax and semantics in the hope that certain findings may be found in relation to the descriptions of English questions in grammar books compared with their uses in communication, and possible difficulties those differences may cause for Vietnamese learners when they learn and use English questions The objectives of the study are firstly to describe the types of interrogative sentences found in the bilingual novel in terms of their syntactic and semantic features, compare the English questions with their Vietnamese equivalents and finally to suggest a number of ways for Vietnamese learners to master the use of English questions During the process of study, the thesis applies three research methods; the descriptive qualitative method used to describe the syntactic and semantic features of English questions; the comparative and contrastive methods to make syntactic and semantic similarities and differences between English questions and their Vietnamese equivalents and the survey methods to collect data for giving pedagogical implications for the ways of learning English questions The data collected for description and analysis of English questions are from the bilingual novel the Great Gatsby and its Vietnamese translation by Hoang Cuong, published 2016 by the The Gioi Publisher and the data used for giving pedagogical implications are from the survey with students from Hanoi Medical College The study results of the thesis are expected to make certain contributions not only to the theory and use of English questions in general but also to the English language learning for the students in Hanoi Medical College in particular VIII Did you see any
