Present Simple

Als er maar 1 werkwoord in de zin staat, moet je een vorm van to do gebruiken om de zin ontkennend of vragend te maken.

Voorbeeld

I see           - I don't see               - do I see?

You work  - you don't work      - do you work?

He shows - he doesn't show   - does he show

We help    - we don't help         - do we help?

Present Simple

To do gebruik je altijd om een zin vragend of ontkennend te maken, behalve bij het werkwoord to be.

voorbeeld

He is nice               -  he isn't  nice   (He doesn't be nice )

You are hungry    - Are you hungry (Do you be hungry) 

Present continuous

In een ontkennende zin komt 'not' achter het (eerste) hulpwerkwoord. In een vragende zin wisselt het (eerste) hulpwerkwoord om met het onderwerp. 

Voorbeeld

I am dreaming     - I am not dreaming       - am I dreaming?

You are working  -  you are not working   - are you working?

He is eating           - he isn't eating               - is he eating?
