Present simple
Como fazer pergunta no simple present?
Use o verbo auxiliar antes do sujeito.
- Do I/we/you/they work?
- Does he/she/it drive(aqui não tem “s” porque ele já foi incluído no Does).
“be”, “have”, “will” e “do”, são exemplos de verbos que podem ser auxiliares e por isso, deverão ir para o início da frase (quando estiverem presentes).
- I am play video game
- Am I play video game?
- You have watched so many movies
- Have you watched so many movies?
