2) Usando o SIMPLE PRESENT para fazer perguntas. Quando fazemos perguntas em ingls utilizando o SIMPLE PRESENT devemos acrescentar DO ou DOES ao incio da frase. Esta norma se aplica a frases de todos os verbos, exceto TO BE e os modais CAN, WILL, WOULD, SHALL, SHOULD, MUST, MAY, etc. Neste caso, o verbo deve ser ANTEPOSTO AO SUJEITO para formar a frase interrogativa. Exemplos: You study every morning. (TO STUDY) Do you study every morning?

As perguntas iniciadas com interrogative pronouns ( WHAT, WHICH, WHERE, WHEN, HOW e WHY) tambm devem receber o auxiliar DO ou DOES. Neste caso, o auxiliar continua ANTEPOSTO AO SUJEITO, colocado entre o interrogative pronoun e o sujeito. Exemplos: I teach French. What do you teach? I am from Poland. Where are you from? She prefers the red car.

Which car does she prefer? I can leave in the morning. When can you leave? O interrogative pronoun WHO eventualmente dispensa o uso do auxiliar DO ou DOES. Who teaches English? Who do you teach English to? Who lives with you? Who do you live with? Who waits for Jane? Who does Jane wait for? Who prefers to work in San Francisco? Who do they prefer to work in San Francisco?

WHO dispensa o auxiliar DO ou DOES quando o verbo principal intransitivo. Note tambm que todas as vezes que WHO dispensa o auxiliar o verbo principal conjugado na terceira pessoa do singular (forma com S), sendo que WHO passa a ser tambm o SUJEITO da frase.
