Simple Present Questions (Unit 8)

Those are all fine.

Dear Torsten

My Simple Present Questions are:

  • Do you have free time on this weeken?
  • Does she speak chinese?
  • Do they go to cinema?
  • Do I like music?
  • Does it watch cartoon movie?
  • Do I play football?
  • Does he listen music?
  • Do we came back home?
    Please check it?

Do you have free time this weekend?
or
Do you have free time on the weekend?

Does she speak Chinese? (Note the capital letter.)

Are they going to the cinema? (‘To do’ is not the most natural verb to use.)

Is he /she watching a cartoon movie? (‘it’ doesn’t make sense.)

Does he listen to music? (Is he listening to music? might be better, depending on whether you are asking about one time or about habit.)

Are we coming back home? (‘To do’ is not the natural verb to use.)

Hi!
Do you give it a shot?
Does he enrage you?
Does she like chocolate?
Do we know about our learning outcome?
Do they outdo each other?

You have chosen the wrong verb or the wrong tense (or a combination of both) for some of your sentences.
Despite the advice in the English-test.net lessons about turning sentences into questions, ‘to do’ is not always the best verb to use. It is often better to use a form of ‘to be’.

Also context such as a question about giving it a shot are unlikely to be asked in the simple present tense. They make more sense in the future tense.

I wouldn’t worry too much about these mistakes. They are likely to occur where you are just making sentences up without any real context in which to base them.

Do you give it a shot? ← Will you give it a shot? / Are you going to give it a shot?
Does he enrage you? ← correct
Does she like chocolate? ← correct
Do we know about our learning outcome? ← Do we know what our learning outcome is? / What is our learning outcome?
Do they outdo each other? ← Are they trying to outdo each other? Did they try to outdo each other? (They cannot both outdo the other - only one can actually do so, which is the reason I have used ‘try/trying’)

Thanks! I accept all your remarks. Issa 1.

Hi Torsten,

I’m confused, what will suit best for this sentence. Do/Would (Do you like tea or coffee? /Would you like tea or coffee). We use Do for simple tense and Would for future tense. So how to use this two in our day to day life. I’m unable to check my answers so,Please let me know where should I find the answer for this question.

Thanks for your efforts.

Do I have to go now?
Does he understand french?
Does she lives there?
Do we need a tutor?
Does it helpful for you?
Do they ask our help?

Bye

Do you like tea? = A general enquiry about whther you like it or not.
Would you like tea? = An offer of some tea.

‘Do’ is not the only simple tense verb for forming questions. For example, these sentences more sense put another way than using ‘do’:
Is it helpful for you?
Are they asking for our help.

does he got his result
do you know me
does she know dance
do we go to shopping
does it help us
do they are tired

The first problem with these questions is that they are not punctuated and do not contain the necessary capital letters.

I suggest you revise them to include this basic requirement. We can then look at the other grammar problems that exist in them.

Hi Sunny
Here are some sentences:
1-Do you know me?
2-Does he work hardly at weekend?
3-Do they eat pizza?
4-Do we remember each other?
5-Do i improve knowledge ?

question in simple present tense:-

1.Do I know you?
2 Do you play football?
3.Does he wake up early in the morning?
4.Do we go to market?
5.Do you hurt?
6.Do they pay for this?
7. Does it helpful?

please someone correct it…

  1. Are we going to market?
  2. Are you hurt?
  3. Are you paying for this?
  4. Is it helpful?

The verb ‘to be’ is better than ‘to do’ in these sentences.

Do you know a hamster?
Does she tell Ms. Lilian about that?
Do you agree with us?
Does it make me fell better?

Regard

The first question seems extremely dd. How can someone know’ an animal?

The second sentence does not really work in the simple present tense. ‘Has she told…’ would be more common.

Note the spelling of ‘feel’.

Do you like sports?
Do you teach English?
Does he work now?

Those are all correct, but ‘Is he working now?’ may be more appropriate.

Hi Ralf,
Here is the list of the sample questions:

  1. Do you have your credit card?
  2. Does he drink coffee?
  3. Do you know I angry about your behaviour?
  4. Does she know her limit of playing the video game?
  5. Do I need to tolerate his words?
  6. Do I feel hurt about the event?

However, after asking the questions. How do I answer a proper question? Refer to sample no 1 :
Do you have your credit card? - is this correct to answer: Yes, I did.

Note: I always confuse with answered the question in normal conversation. I would mix up with simple and past tense. Some people would say this is a silly grammar mistake. How would I differentiate? Please advice. Your reply is much appreciated. Thanks.

cheers,
Mei

  1. Do you know that I am angry about your behaviour?
  2. Does she know her limit for playing the video game?

Do you … Yes, I do/No, I don’t.
Does he… Yes, he does/No, he doesn’t.
