Yes/No Questions in the Present Simple
Punctuation Tip
Always begin a sentence, question and wh-question with a capital letter:
He always does good work.
Do you like me?
What did they bring you?
To create a question that will be answered with a yes or no, start the question with Do or Does, then add a subject (the person or thing that does the action) followed by the base form of the verb and only then add the rest of the sentence.
Auxiliary Verb subject verb in base form rest of sentence
Do I / you / we / they drive to the city on Mondays
Does he / she / it break down often
Do you surf the Internet every day?
Does your boss give you positive feedback?
Does Jonathan always turn off the lights?
Don’t you ever clean your room?
Note: In the Present Simple tense:
You may add a one-word time expression, such as ‘always’, ‘usually’, or ‘often’ between the subject and the verb.
You may use a negative question with a time expression such as ‘ever’.
Wh-Questions in the Present Simple
Wh- questions are questions that require more information in their answers. Typical wh- words are what, where, when, why, who, how, how many, how much.
To create a wh-question, start with the wh-word, then add do or does, then the subject (a person or thing that does the action), followed by the base form of the verb and only then add the rest of the sentence.
Wh-Word Auxiliary Verb Subject Verb in Base Form Rest of Sentence
What do I / you / we / they want
Why does he / she / it shout at you
When do you want to meet me?
Why does Beth always complain so much?

The present simple tense is used to describe actions that are regularly occurring, habitual, or permanent. It is also used to describe states or conditions that are true or factual.
In English, the present simple tense is formed using the base form of the verb, or the infinitive form without "to". For example, the present simple tense of the verb "to walk" is "walk".
The present simple tense is also marked by the use of third-person singular verb forms. For example, "he walks" and "she talks".
Here are some examples of the present simple tense in action:
I go to school every day. (regular action)
She speaks French fluently. (permanent state)
The sun rises in the east. (factual statement)
It's important to note that the present simple tense can also be used to describe future events that are part of a schedule or plan. For example:
The train leaves at 8:00 am. (scheduled event)
