The following is the word order to construct a basic question in English using Do or Does. Instead of the infinitive To have it is just the have part. Remember that the infinitive is the verb before it is conjugated changed and it begins with TO. For example: to have, to eat, to go, to live, to speak etc. However, if a question word such as who , when , where , why , which or how is used in the question, you can not use the short answers above to respond to the question.
Try our interactive game to practice Do and Does in Questions. Jack and Jill do whatever they want on Tuesdays. What does Jenny want for breakfast? Do chickens usually fly? Why does your coat have ten zippers? Does California have many beaches? Where do you find pink dolphins? Does watching TV make kids violent? When does she normally come home from work? Do we enter from the front door?
Who does he think he is? How many times do they have to push that button? And last but not least, the verb DO is also used in short answers to questions.
The good news is that while in the present the verb DO changes into DOES in the third person singular a painful rule for a lot of English students! However, DO can also be used as an auxiliary verb, which means there are some more rules to follow if it is used in questions and negative statements.
As you can see, things can get quite complicated with the verb DO, which is exactly the reason that makes it so particular and difficult to use for non-native speakers of English.
Previous Post. I'm never late. Don't you ever oversleep? My alarm clock wakes me up. Don't you realise it's all a load of nonsense. I don't think it is. Don't you understand they do not exist? They do exist! Do you need anything from the supermarket? Do you prefer decaffeinated? Do you want me to get continental blend if they don't have decaff? It's too strong. It keeps me awake at night.
