English A1 Q&A Corrections #086
Topic: Question and correction practice with do/does answers
Lesson overview:
In this lesson, we practice a very common beginner pattern: do and does in questions, plus short answers and simple corrections. This is a natural next step after basic question words and simple yes/no questions. We will review a little from previous lessons: what, where, and simple question forms, then add do and does.
Quick review from previous lessons:
- what = asking about a thing
- where = asking about a place
- simple question patterns help you ask and answer clearly
5 useful words:
1) do — reading: doo — meaning: ask / do
2) does — reading: duhz — meaning: ask / does
3) like — reading: layk — meaning: enjoy
4) apples — reading: ap-uhlz — meaning: fruit
5) yes — reading: yes — meaning: yes
Usage notes:
- do is used with I, you, we, they.
- does is used with he, she, it.
- After do/does, use the base form of the verb: like, not likes.
- Short answers are very common in English.
5 example sentences:
1) Do you like apples?
Reading: doo yoo layk ap-uhlz
Meaning: Do you like apples?
Note: This is a basic do-question.
2) Does he like apples?
Reading: duhz hee layk ap-uhlz
Meaning: Does he like apples?
Note: Use does with he.
3) I like apples.
Reading: ai layk ap-uhlz
Meaning: I like apples.
Note: This is a simple positive reply.
4) Yes, I do.
Reading: yes ai doo
Meaning: Yes, I do.
Note: This is a short answer for a do-question.
5) No, he does not.
Reading: noh hee duhz not
Meaning: No, he does not.
Note: This is a short negative answer.
Mini practice:
- Change Does you like apples? to the correct question.
- Change He like apples. to the correct sentence.
- Answer: Do you like apples? with a short yes answer.
- Answer: Does he like apples? with a short no answer.
