Warm-up

A few questions about you before we start.

1. Do you eat breakfast every day?
2. Does your mom (or dad) drink coffee?
3. Which days do you work or study?

Grammar rule

don't, doesn't, Do you…?

	I / you / we / they	he / she / it
Negative	I don't play golf.	She doesn't play golf.
Question	Do you play golf?	Does she play golf?
Short answers	Yes, I do. / No, I don't.	Yes, she does. / No, she doesn't.

don't = do not · doesn't = does not

Questions with a question word

what, where, what time, how… + do / does + I, you, she, your cousin… + the verb:

• Where do they swim?
• What does your cousin study?
• How does this machine work?

Watch out

• After does and doesn't, the verb has no -s: She doesn't play golf. Does she play? (not doesn't plays, Does she plays?)
• In a short answer, do or does stands for the verb: Yes, I do. No, she doesn't. (not Yes, I play.)
• be has no do: Are you hungry? She isn't here. (not Do you are hungry?)
