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 -When-What -Why-Where -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 questionswe use the Wh question words: what and whoinstead 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 ?
