Questions in the Present Simple

Present Simple: questions

Wanneer er een vorm van to be of to have got of to can in de zin staat dan verplaatst deze naar het begin van de zin om de vraag te maken.

examples: 

He can run very fast.                  Can he run very fast? 

That cat is furry.                            Is that cat furry? 

My favourite colour is pink      Is my favourite colour pink?

They are the best.                         Are they the best? 

PRESENT SIMPLE: QUESTIONS

We gebruiken het werkwoord to do ook om vraagzinnen te maken.

De werkwoorden to be en to have got  (en andere hulpwerkwoorden) zijn uitzonderingen op deze standaardregel.

Het werkwoord to do wordt als volgt vervoegd:

• I /you/we/they       do      :    I like ice cream               Do I like ice cream?
• He/ she/it                does  :    She likes icecream      Does she like icecream? 

PRESENT SIMPLE: QUESTIONS

Bij vragen begint de zin met Do of Does

I feel sad. -> Do you feel sad?

He looks sad. -> Does he look sad? 

Let op: omdat we het werkwoord to do vervoegen voor he / she / it (does), zetten we het andere werkwoord in de volledige werkwoordsvorm. Looks -> look. Er mag dus maar 1 werkwoord in de zin vervoegd worden.

Right or wrong? And why?

Play you "Just dance" on your Playstation?

Have you got pets?

Do you have a brother?

Are she 17 years old?

Do she likes sports?
