How to Ask Questions in the Present Tense

1. Match Subjects and Verbs:

• Make sure the verbs fit with their subjects.
  • Example: "He runs every morning."
  • Example: "They run every morning."

2. Present Simple versus Present Continuous:

• Use present simple for actions you do regularly:
  • Example: "Do you play tennis?"
• Use present continuous for actions happening right now:
  • Example: "Are you playing tennis now?"

3. Asking Questions and Making Negatives:

• Questions:
  • Use helper verbs (do/does) for present simple:
    • "Does she like pizza?"
• Negatives:
  • Use "do not" or "does not":
    • "She does not like pizza."

4. Using Modals:

• Modals show ability, possibility, or advice:
  • Example: "Can you help me?"

5. Showing Ownership:

• Use possessive forms to show something belongs to someone:
  • Example: "Is this my book?"
