Making questions

1. Vragende en ontkennende zinnen maak je met to do + het hele werkwoord als er geen ander hulpwerkwoord in de zin staat.

I know her - Do I know her? - I don't know her

Making questions

2. Vragende en ontkennende zinnen met to be of een hulpwerkwoord maak je net zoals je dat in het Nederlands doet.

He is young - Is he young? - He isn't young

We shall tell him - Shall we tell him? - We shan't tell him

Making questions

3. Bij het werkwoord to have gebruik je soms to do, maar in bepaalde gevallen niet.

• Als to have een handeling aangeeft, gebruik je to do. Bv. He has dinner at 5 p.m. - Does he have dinner at 5 p.m.?
• Als to have een bezit aangeeft, gebruik je met got geen to do, zonder got gebruik je wel to do. I've got a car - Have you got a car? Let op: I have a car - Do you have a car?

Making questions

Is to have een hulpwerkwoord in de v.t.t.? Gebruik geen to do.

She has left - Has she left? - She hasn't left

The same rules apply...

for the simple past. Have a look in your grammar book, p61.

I went fast - Did I go fast? - I didn't go fast

You were there yesterday - Were you there yesterday? - You weren't there yesterday

I could enter the house - Could I enter the house - Could you enter the house?
