Practice writing questions and answers in the present tense
Present tense questions with the verb “do” are made two ways:
1. Yes-No Questions:
Q: Do you want some water?
A: No, I don’t.
In this first example, “do” is the helping verb, and “want” is the main verb. Use “do” or “does,” depending on the subject.
Q: Does he want to see that movie?
A: Yes, he does.
The verb “do” is often an answer to a yes-no question.
2. Questions for information:
Q: Where does he live?
A: He lives in Minnesota.
Incorrect: He does live in Minnesota.
Q: What do you do for a living? (What is your job?)
A: I’m a cook.
In this example, “do” + “do” make a question.
The answer does not require the verb “do.”
I am a cook. — uses the verb “be.”
