Cheat Sheet

  1. Yes/No Questions Structure -

    In simple present questions, place the auxiliary "do" or "does" before the subject (e.g., "Do you play guitar?" "Does she read novels?"). Remember the mnemonic "Do/Does + Subject + Base Verb" to avoid common pitfalls. (Source: Cambridge English)

  2. WH Questions Formation -

    Start with a wh-word (what, where, when, why, who, how), then add "do/does" + subject + base verb (e.g., "What do they study?" "Where does he work?"). This clear pattern makes WH questions practice both systematic and memorable. (Source: British Council)

  3. Handling Third-Person Singular -

    With "does" in third-person singular, drop the "-s" from the main verb (e.g., "Does she dance?" not "Does she dances?"). A handy trick: if you hear "does," always revert the verb to its base form. (Source: Oxford English Grammar Course)

  4. Question Word Order Rule -

    Follow the sequence Q-word + Auxiliary + Subject + Main Verb (QASMV) for both yes/no and WH questions. Memorize "Quickly Ask Sarah Many Valuable questions" to lock in proper order. (Source: Purdue OWL)
