Para realizar una pregunta específica se usa “question Word” (pregunta de

palabra) y luego, se sigue el mismo método. Se responde usando la frase completa.

Ejemplo 1: Where do you live? – “wer du yu liv” - Dónde vives?

I live in London – “ai liv in London” – Vivo en Londres.

Ejemplo 2: Where does she go? – “wer das shi gou” – Dónde vive ella?

She goes to the cinema – “shi gous tu da cinema” ella va al cine.

Para dar énfasis Cuando se quiere recalcar una acción afirmativa, se coloca
do/does delante del verbo principal (el que realiza la acción).

Example 1: Do you really work here? ¿De verdad que trabajas aquí?
Yes, I do work here. Sí, sí trabajo aquí.

Example 2: She does work hard. Ella sí trabaja duro.

Example 3: I do want to see her. Realmente quiero verla.

Para contestar a una pregunta Cuando haces una pregunta utilizando "do -/ does "
como verbo auxiliar; se contesta de forma corta diciendo: "Yes, I do" ó "No, I don't".
Nunca se contesta en la respuesta corta repitiendo el verbo principal.

Example 1: Do you elaborates marmalade?

Yes, I do.
Recuerda: Nunca se contesta con el
verbo principal como lo hacemos en
Example 2: Do we inject at the patients? el español. Example:
No, we don´t. Do you study?
Yes, I stady (incorrecto)
Yes, I do. (Correcto)
Example 3: Does she fixes the computers?
Yes, she does.

Example 4: Does he bakes the bread?

No, he does.
