    Simple present tense - Negative and interrogative forms

    In the Simple Present the negative and interrogative sentences in English are formed using
    the auxiliary do or does.

    Negative form
    The negative form of the Simple Present is obtained by adding do not or does not before the
    base form of the verb:

    Subject Auxiliary Example

    I don’t I don’t work

    You don’t You don’t work

    He doesn’t He doesen’t work

    She doesn’t She doesn’t work

    It doesn’t It doesn’t work

    We don’t We don’t work

    You don’t You don’t work

    They don’t They don’t work

    As you can see, only the pronouns of the 3rd person singular (he, she, it) are followed by does
    not, for all others do not use.

    Interrogative form

    The interrogative form of the Simple Present is obtained with the auxiliary do or does in front
    of the subject.

    Subject Auxiliary Example

    Do I Do I work?

    Do you Do you work?

    Does he Does he work?


    Does she Does sge work?

    Does it Does it work?

    Do we Do we work?

    Do you Do you work?

    Do they Do they work?

    Training of the WHY-Questions

    The Wh – questions (questions that use adjectives and interrogative pronouns like What,
    Where, Why, When, Which, Who) are formed by putting the adjective or interrogative pronoun
    Wh – at the beginning of the interrogative phrase. Here are some examples:

    Affirmative Interrogative WHY QUESTIONS

    They work Do they work? Why do they work?

    You study Do you study? What do you study?

    She drives Does she drive? Which car does she drive?
