About This Resource

This A1–A2 resource develops do both as a main verb and as the basic auxiliary used in present-simple questions and negatives. It emphasizes the difference between ordinary verbs, which use do/does support, and the verb be, which forms its own questions and negatives.

What You’ll Learn

• Use do and does as forms of the main verb do.
• Use do/does to build present-simple questions with ordinary verbs.
• Use don’t/doesn’t + base verb for present-simple negatives.
• Avoid adding do or does to simple-present questions and negatives with be.
