QUESTION SENTENCES WITH AUXILLIARY

Making Simple Questions:
Sentences without BE and
without Auxiliary Verbs

       
If the sentence to which a simple question is related does not have BE or an auxiliary verb (BE, has / have / had,modal auxiliary), use do, does, or did. The form is Do / Does / Did + subject + verb + other words?

ü  Do

        Use do for yes/no questions in simple present tense if the subject is (or means) I, you, we, or they:

I need this. ---> Do I need this?

You understand me. ---> Do you understand me?

We have a test tomorrow. --->Do we have a test tomorrow?

They like sashimi. ---> Do they like sashimi?

ü  Does

        Use does for yes/no questions in simple present tense if the subject is (or means) he, she, or it:

He loves her. ---> Does he love her?

She misses him. ---> Does she miss him?

His computer works. ---> Does his computer work?

ü  Did

Use did for yes/no questions in simple past tense for all subjects--I,you, he, she, it, we, they:

I forgot something. ---> Did I forget something?

You lost something. ---> Did you lose something?

He left. ---> Did he leave?

She quit her job. ---> Did she quit her job?

Her computer crashed. ---> Did her computer crash?

We needed that. ---> Did we need that?

They had a good time. ---> Did they have a good time?

Answering Simple Questions:
Sentences without BE and
without Auxiliary Verbs

For simple questions with an auxiliary verb before the main verb, there are three possible answers: with Yes, with No, and with I don't know. The answers with Yes and No can be complete sentences or "abbreviated
forms." In the "abbreviated forms," the auxiliary verb is do, does, or did. 

Examples:

Did Fred talk to you?

ü  Yes, Fred talked to me.

ü  Yes, he did.

ü  Yes.

ü  No, Fred didn't talk to me.

ü  No, he didn't. /No.I don't know.

 Did Sophie pass the test?

ü  Yes, Sophie passed the test.

ü  Yes, she did.

ü  Yes.

ü  No, Sophie didn't pass the test.

ü  No, she didn't.

ü  No.I don't know.

Did Bill go to the party?

ü  Yes, Bill went to the party.

ü  Yes, he did.

ü  Yes.

ü  No, Bill didn't go to the party.

ü  No, he didn't.

ü  No.

ü  I don't know.

ü  etc. 

Special Notes:

1.  The common verbs do and have can be both main verbs and auxiliary verbs:

•     Toby did a good job. (main verb)
•     Did Toby do a good job? (auxiliary verb,main verb)
•     Toby didn't do a good job. (auxiliary verb,main verb)
•     Alice has two brothers. (main verb)

•     Alice doesn't have any brothers. (auxiliary verb: does(n't); main verb:have).
•     Does Alice have two brothers? (auxiliary verb: does; main verb: have.

         We have had enough. (auxiliary verb: have;main verb: have (past participle)

They had had breakfast before wesaw them. (auxiliary verb: had; main verb: have (past participle)

2.  Contractions are also common in "abbreviated" answers, but only with No:

Does Joe have red hair?

•     Yes, he does.
•     No, he doesn't.

Do you want something to eat?

•     Yes, I do.
•     No, I don't.

Did Marcia call you?

•     Yes, she did.
•     No, she didn't.

3.  When does is the auxiliary verb, there is no -s ( -es, -ies ) on the main verb:

•    wrong:

*Does she wants something?

•    right:

*Does she want something?

•    wrong:

*Does he has a new car?

•    right:

*Does he have a new car?

4.  When did is the auxiliary verb, the main verb is in simple form, not past:

•   wrong:

*Did she wanted something?

•   right:

*Did she want something?

•   wrong:

*Did they had a good time?

•   right:

*Did they have a good time?

5.  Remember: Do, does, and did are used when the sentence on which the question is based does not have BE or an auxiliary a main verb.

•   wrong:

*Does she is here today?

•   wrong:

*Did she was here yesterday?

•   wrong:

*Did she already been here?

•   etc.
