1b. Questions – word order and question words

Word order in present simple questions. *The order of words in an English question in present simple is: QWASI: (Question Word) + Auxiliary + Subject + Infinitive. What do you do? Where do they live? *In Yes-No questions (questions that we answer saying yes or no) there is NO Question Word. Do you speak English? Does she live here? *The auxiliary verb in present simple is be or do/does. Above you can see a grammar chart on the order of words in present simple questions with be or do/does. _________________________________________________ *El orden de las palabras en una pregunta en inglés en presente simple es: QWASI : ( Palabra interrogativa) + Auxiliar + Sujeto + Infinitivo. *En las preguntas de Sí-No (preguntas que respondemos diciendo sí o no ) NO hay Palabra Interrogativa . *El verbo auxiliar en presente simple es be o do/does . Arriba puede ver un cuadro gramatical sobre el orden de las palabras en preguntas de presente simple con be o do/does .

Questions with am/is/are Questions with do/does. *Questions with am/is/are When the verb in the sentence is be, we use am/is/are as the auxiliary verb before the subject. Then the word order is QWAS: (Question Word) + Auxiliary (am/is/are) + Subject. *Questions with do/does When we have a verb that is not be, we use do/does as the auxiliary verb. We use does with he/she/it and do with I/you/we/they. Remember that the main verb after the subject is in the infinitive form (NO -s or -es). What does she do? (NOT What does she does?) Where does he work ? (NOT Where does she works?) ___________________________________________________ *Preguntas con am/is/are Cuando el verbo en la oración es be , usamos am/is/are como verbo auxiliar antes del sujeto. Entonces el orden de las palabras es QWAS : ( Palabra interrogativa) + Auxiliar (am/is/are) + Sujeto. *Preguntas con do/does Cuando tenemos un verbo que no es be , usamos do/does como verbo auxiliar. Usamos does con él/ella/ello y do con yo/tú/nosotros/ellos . Recuerda que el verbo principal después del sujeto está en forma infinitiva (NO -s o -es ).
