PRESENT SIMPLE - Questions
Theory:
THE PRESENT SIMPLE is used to describe actions that happen regularly or repeatedly or habitually.
Example - I play tennis, or I usually play tennis.
The base form of the verb 'PLAY' is 'TO PLAY'. The PRESENT SIMPLE uses this form with the 'TO' removed.
For questions, DO or DOES is used
For I, YOU, WE and THEY, 'DO' is used.
For HE, SHE and IT, 'DOES' is used.
Example - DO YOU PLAY tennis? but, DOES HE PLAY tennis?
Notice that no 'S' is added to the verbs in the negative case.
For the verb TO BE, the PRESENT SIMPLE in the question form uses 'AM', 'IS' and 'ARE'.
'I' always uses 'AM'.
Example - AM I happy?.
'YOU', 'WE' and 'THEY' always use 'ARE'.
Example - ARE YOU happy?.
'HE', 'SHE' and 'IT' always use 'IS'.
Example - IS HE happy.
