Present simple questions
Explanation
Questions in the present simple with “be” are formed by swapping the verb and subject. For other verbs, the auxiliary verb “do” or “does” must be added before the subject.

Questions with "be"
To form questions in the present simple using “be,” reverse the order of the subject and the verb.
Present simple questions
In a statement, the subject comes before the verb. In a question, the verb moves to the start of the sentence. The subject comes after the verb.

Questions with "do" and "does"
For questions with verbs other than “be,” start the question with“do” or “does.” Don’t swap the subject and the main verb. Add “do” to questions with “I,” “you,” “we,” and “they.”

Add “does” to questions with “he,” “she,” and “it.” The main verb goes in its base form.
