Hi Farida,

You have chosen the wrong verb for some of your sentences to sound natural. For some simple present questions ‘to be’ is better than ‘to do’:
Is she taking an English course?
Is he reading a novel?

Hi Salimiabolf,

All sentences begin with a capital letter. The word ‘English’ also begins with a capital letter.

Welcome to the forums. This is how I suggest your sentences would be best written:

Are you visiting the Taj Mahal in India?
Does she like strawberries?
Are they playing cricket?
Does he know Julie?
Do you understand/speak French?

Hi Torsten,
I am Harshini.Please correct me if I am wrong.
Do I eat apple?
Do you need this one?
Does he help me forever?
Does she ask me something ?
Does it rain?
Do we play for sometime?

Beeesneees · August 29, 2011, 3:15pm

Well tried, Harshini.

‘To do’ is not always the best verb form for questions. In addition, some of the context of your questions is not really suitable for simple present tense.:

Am I eating an apple? /Do I eat apples?
Will he help me forever?
Is she asking me something?
Is it raining?
Are we going to be playing for some time?

No corrections necessary!

Beeesneees · September 13, 2011, 5:36pm

Please correct the lack of capital letters and the use of text message abbreviations.

Boopathi2 · September 14, 2011, 4:46am

hi
please guide me,how to correct the lack of capital letters and text message abbreviation

Beeesneees · September 14, 2011, 8:50pm

lack of capital letters:
use them! Learn the basic rules for punctuating a sentence.

text message abbreviation:
Use the correct word instead of ‘u’.
