Questions in the Questions in the Present Simple.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 -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?
