Simple Present Interrogative - Other Verbs than 'To Be'

 

Forming the Simple Present Interrogative is very easy. You just have to add the auxiliary "Do/Does" in front of the subject. Notice that for the 3rd person you have to remove the termination "-s". This rule does not apply to the "Verb To Be". See below:
