Questions

Do I/you/we/they work?

Does he/she/it work?

Short answers

Yes, I do. / No, I don’t.

Yes, she does. / No, he doesn’t.

Yes, they do. / No, you don’t.

We form present simple questions with do or does + base form of the verb. (The base form of the verb is the infinitive without to.)

Do you play football?

Does he play football?

Note: we don’t use the third person singular form of the main verb.

Does he plays football?

Grammar Reference

Present simple: questions

 

We use question words (who, what, where, when, etc.) to ask for information. The question word comes at the beginning of the question.

Where do you live?

When do you go to bed?

What is sometimes followed by a noun:

What music do you like?

What subjects do you do at school?

If the question includes a preposition, it usually goes at the end.

What music do you listen to?

Who do you live with?
