what about questions?

We use questions in the simple present to ask about things that are facts, or regular routines.

We form questions in the simple present with do / does + subject + base form.

We form short answers with Yes/No, + subject + do / does / don't / doesn't

what about questions?

If we want more information, we put a question word (what, where, when, why, who, how, etc.) before do / does at the start of the question.

Where do you live? Who do you live with? What does he do on the weekend? How do you get to work? When does the class start? Why do you like soccer?
