Grammar

Making simple present and present progressive questions.

To make questions in the simple present, you need a helper. That helper is called Axel, the chameleon auxiliary. Axel likes to play games and take on different forms depending on the verb.

Ex: do, does – verbs that are not “be”

       am, are, is – “be” verbs

Check this out:
I live in Granby – where is Axel, the aux? He is hiding, so we need to bring him into the open. What auxiliary goes with a simple present verb that does not have an “s”? – DO. Our Axel verb is DO.

I live in Granby. Where DO you live?
She studies nursing? What DOES she study?

Axel is something of a chameleon. If the verb takes an “s,” Axel takes an “s”

She studies nursing? What doES she study?

But like chameleon geckos, Axel loses his tail when he gets scared; that is why the verb no longer has an “s.” Axel’s tail is on the auxiliary because it fell off the verb.

What DOES she study? (not studies)

He works at Maxi.
Where DOES he work? (not works)

But, Axel is lazy…
If there is an auxiliary in your sentence, just use it again. That means that Axel will not lose his tail, and your verb will not change. That is what happens with present progressive verbs.

Regina IS feeling sad. (Axel – IS)

How IS Regina feeling? (verb form does not change)

Enzo and Lisa ARE preparing their presentation.

What ARE Enzo and Lisa preparing?

Finally, Axel does not want to be the centre of attention but he does want to be noticed. That is why he likes to go after the question word.

Try making questions.
