How to make Q
We have two types of questions either Yes/NoQ orWH Q
For both cases you need a helping verb, so it will be like this
We use the helping verb DOES to make a Q with the singular subjects
We use the helping verb DO to make a Q with the plural subjects
For the first case (Yes/No Q) we use the following rule
:
[TABLE="width: 618, align: center"]
[TR]
[TD]
?
[/TD]
[TD]
The rest of the sentence
[/TD]
[TD]
Main verb
[/TD]
[TD]
Subject
[/TD]
[TD]
Helping verb[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
(Note:: we don’t add (s) to the singular verb because of
does and that applies to the negative singular sentence also)
Does she work in ABC Company? We have no s
Do you hate Shrimps? no s
Does Ahmed like chemistry? no s
To answer this type of Q you can say
Yes, (I-we-you-they) do or Yes, (she-he-it) does
Or
No,(I-we-you-they)don’t or No, (she-he-it)doesn’t
The second case ~WH Q
~~
WH means (where-who-when-which-how-…..etc
We use the following rule
[TABLE="width: 689, align: center"]
[TR]

?

[TD]
The rest of the sentence[/TD]
[TD]
Main verb
[/TD]
[TD]
Subject
[/TD]
[TD]
Helping verb

WH[/TD]

If you notice it’s almost the same form the only different is we add WH first

Negative
To make any sentence negative with the present simple also we need do & does but we add to them NOT
I don’t believe you
She doesn’t work here
Simple, right
?
Finally there are some key words that might guide
Always – Usually – Often – Sometimes – Seldom – Rarely – Never
At + time => At 7:00
Once/Twice + time => once a week – twice a month
If you see them in a sentence you usually need to use the present simple
This was a quick revision to the present simple I hope you enjoyed it
