    Do you cook?
    Questions in Simple Present Tense
    2 Beginner

    After this lesson, you will be able to ask people if they do anything regularly.

    Exercise 1
    Sentence Practice

    Do you see the stars?


    Do they speak Chinese?
    Does he swim?
    Does she listen to jazz?
    Does he live in Japan?

    Grammar Focus
    Yes-no questions

    You may remember how to form yes-no questions with the verb 'be': switch the verb
    and the subject. "You are Japanese." becomes "Are you Japanese?"

    To form yes-no questions with verbs other than 'be', put the helping verb 'do' at the
    beginning of the sentence.
    I know you. → Do I know you?
    You live here. → Do you live here?
    We eat dinner late. → Do we eat dinner late?
    They speak Italian. → Do they speak Italian?

    To respond 'yes' to these questions, say "Yes, I / you / we / they do."

    For the third person singular (he, she, it), the helping verb 'do' becomes 'does' to agree
    with the subject. Put 'does' at the beginning of the sentence and use the main verb in
    its basic (without -s) form:

    He knows French. → Does he know French?


    She eats meat. → Does she eat meat?
    It often rains here. → Does it often rain here?

    Tip

    Remember that the helping verb 'do' changes to 'does' in the third person. The main verb
    stays in its basic form. So don't add an 's' to the main verb! "Do es he know s French?" is
    wrong.
