1 Tier 1 – The Concept & Nuance: The DO / DOES Auxiliary Formula
To ask questions in the Present Simple, place Do or Does before the subject: Do/Does + Subject + Base Verb.
– “Does Lucy live in Madrid? — No, she doesn’t.”
– “What does this word mean?”
– “How often do you wash your car?”
2 Tier 2 – Short Answers (Yes, I do / No, she doesn’t)
| Do you smoke? | “Yes, I do.” / “No, I don’t.” (NOT |
| Does he work hard? | “Yes, he does.” / “No, he doesn’t.” |
3 Tier 3 – Top 3 Common Learner Pitfalls
– Rule: The main verb after does must always be in the base form (live).
– Rule: Never omit the auxiliary verb do in present simple WH-questions.
– Rule: Singular third-person subjects (your brother = he) take does.
