What and When Questions
- "When" questions ask for time or date. "Where" questions ask for place or address.
- "When" and "where" questions in simple present tense follow the structure: "When/Where" + do/does + subject + base verb...?
- Remember to use "do" with "I", "you", "we", "they" and to use "does" with "he", "she", "it".
- You can make a subject question like this: "When/Where" + "is/are" + complement (a noun)?
"When" questions are used to ask for time or date. "Where" questions are used to ask for place or address. Let's dive into it!
When Questions
To build a question with "when" in simple present tense, follow this rule: "When" + do/does + subject + verb...?
Remember, for subjects "I", "you", "we", "they", and many things/people, use "do".
For subjects "he", "she", "it", and 1 thing/person, use "does". The verb must be in base form.
Examples:
-
When do you leave for school?
Question word ("When") + helping verb ("do") + subject ("you") + verb ("leave") ... ?
-
When does she eat lunch?
Question word ("When") + helping verb ("does") + subject ("she") + verb ("eat") ... ?
When Questions - Subject Questions
