Questions in the Present Simple.
We use 2 ways to ask questions in Present Simple:
We use: Yes/ No questions and. . .
Wh questions.
Yes/ No questions: we use the helping verbs Do or Does to ask yes/ no questions. We put them before the subject. Do/ Does+ subject+ base verb? Remember! Do not add -s or -es to the verb.
Do+I/you/we/they+base verb? Ex: Do you love me? Do they practice tennis everyday? Does+he/she/it+base verb? Ex: Does it cost a lot of money? Does he study everyday? ! We do not use do or does with the verb be. Ex: Am I late?
Wh questions: We use these words to ask wh questions: -Which -Who -What -Where -When -Why -How
Wh non-subject questions: We usually put the Wh question before the helping verbs. Wh+do/does+subject+base verb?
Wh+do/does+base verb? Ex: The sun rises in the east. Where does the sun rise? Ex: I drink tea without sugar. How do you drink tea? Remember! Do not add -s or -es to the verb
Wh subject questions: To ask subject questions we use the Wh question words: what and who instead of the subject.
After the Wh question words, who or what, the verb will be in it’s singular form.
For example: What looks dangerous? Bungee-jumping looks dangerous. Who is at school? The pupils are at school.
Don’t forget!!! We can also ask questions in the Present Simple to get general information about something. Ex: How much does a ticket to Disneyland cost?
