GRAMMARTICAL ERRORS

Present time refers to the

 time around the moment of writing or speaking (time around now)
 general and permanent time.
 general facts and regular events,
 present continuous for an event happening now
Examples:

Water turns to ice at below 0°. (present simple for a general fact)
Does it rain a lot in Wales? (present simple asking about a general fact)
I usually take the bus to work. (present simple for a regular event)
Take an umbrella with you. It’s raining. (present continuous for something
happening now)

To make a question in English we normally use Do or Does. It is normally put at the

beginning of the question (before the subject).

Affirmative: You speak Spanish.

Question: Do you speak Spanish?

You will see that we add DO at the beginning of the affirmative sentence to make it a
question. We use Do when the subject is I, you, we or they.

Affirmative: He speaks Spanish.

Question: Does he speak Spanish?

When the subject is he, she or it, we add DOES at the beginning to make the affirmative
sentence a question. Notice that the letter S at the end of the verb in the affirmative sentence
(because it is in third person) disappears in the question. We will see the reason why below.

We DON'T use Do or Does in questions that have the verb To Be or Modal Verbs (can,
must, might, should etc.)
