Questions in the
Present Simple.
We use 2 ways to
ask questions in
Present Simple:
We use:
Yes/ No

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?

Wh subject questions:
To ask subject
