We often hear from teachers and relatives , where they askFor ex.
Where does he go to school?
Where+ Auxiliary verb+ subject+ verb+ object
Easy way to form the sentence (Where does he go to school?)
First create
He goes to school (Present Indefinite)
Then
Does he go to school? (Interrogative )
Then add “Where” to Interogative sentence
Where does he go to school?
In the same way, all the sentences starting with
WHAT
WHERE
WHEN
WHY
HOW
will be formed in the Present Indefinite
Similarly,
- Where do they eat dinner in office?
- What do you do?
- Where does he go to play in the evening?
- How do you go to school?
- Where do they go for walk in the morning?
- When do you eat supper?
- Where does the old man take rest in the afternoon?
- Why do you play alone ?
- Where do the children sleep at night?
Tip-
Always use
DO / DOES with singular subjects
Does he go?
Does Jack go?
Does Matthew sleep right now?
While using Does, don’t add “s” or “es” to verb
He plays (correct) Does he plays? (wrong)
Does he play? (correct)
She eats (correct) DOES SHE EATS? (WRONG)
Does she eat? (correct)
