Grammar 3: Questions & Negations

Questions & Negations

Twee regels voor ontkennen en vragen van werkwoordtijden:

1. Met auxiliary verb (hulpwerkwoord)

2. Zonder auxiliary verb

Elke zin heeft in ieder geval een hoofdwerkwoord. In sommige tijden, en bij sommige betekenissen, is er ook nog een hulpwerkwoord 

Questions & Negations

- There are two rules when making questions / negations: 
    1. If there is a form of "to be" (is/was/were/etc.) or an 
      auxiliary verb (can/will/may/etc.) you place that verb at the
      beginning of the sentence or n't after that verb. 
      
      He is doing his homework  >   Is he doing his homework? 
      I can read that sign.          >   I can't read that sign. 

Questions & Negations

- 2. If there is no form of "to be" or no auxiliary verb
       (can/may/etc.), you add a form of "to do". 

       He told me about the trip. >  Did he tell you about the trip?
       The cat sleeps in our bed.  > The cat doesn't sleep in our bed
