Default Re: a question

Yeah, that's fine.

'Make questions.' could be used when you want students to just formulate the questions in their heads and ask them verbally or when you also want them to write them down. Although, it doesn't expressly mean that the students should write the questions down or ask them. I would usually say something like:
'Make 5 questions and then ask your partner.' (no writing implied)
'Make 5 questions and write down your partner's answers.'
'Make 5 questions and write them down on a piece of paper.'

If you're just having them write 5 questions, you could just say 'Write 5 questions.' and that would be fine.

All of the above examples you could subsitute 'write' in for 'make'
