A1 English Lesson 4: Present Simple - Yes/No Questions (Regular Verbs)

Language Focus

We use the present simple to talk about everyday actions, habits, and routines - and now to ask questions about them too.

Rule	Example
Positive: I / you / we / they + base form	I work in a shop. They live in Paris.
Positive: he / she / it + verb + s	He works in a shop. She lives in Paris.
Negative: I / you / we / they + don't + base form	I don't work on Sundays. They don't live here.
Negative: he / she / it + doesn't + base form	He doesn't work on Sundays. She doesn't live here.
Question: Do + I / you / we / they + base form + ?	Do you work on Sundays? Do they live here?
Question: Does + he / she / it + base form + ?	Does he work on Sundays? Does she live here?

Remember: after don't, doesn't, Do, or Does, the verb is always in its base form - never add -s! Does she work?, NOT Does she works?

Short answers: Yes, I do. / No, I don't. · Yes, she does. / No, she doesn't.

Context: two friends talking about food

Anna: Do you like pizza?

Ben: Yes, I do. I love pizza!

Anna: Do you eat vegetables every day?

Ben: No, I don't. I don't like vegetables very much.

Anna: Does your sister like pizza too?

Ben: Yes, she does. She loves it.

Anna: Does she eat vegetables?

Ben: No, she doesn't. She only eats fruit.
