Answer 1

Respuesta:

1. Do you like cake?
2. Does she live in London?
3. Do they hate studying?
4. Do you drink tea every morning?
5. Do you smoke?
6. Does he play tennis on Saturdays?
7. Do you go shopping at the weekend?
8. Do you drink alcohol?
9. Does she work in an office?
10. Do they study French?

Explicación:

Se utiliza el auxiliar Do/does.

Do: Cuando se trata de primera y segunda persona (I, you, they, you, we)

Does: Cuando se trata de tercera persona (she, he, it)

Cuando es pregunta, se escribe el auxiliar, luego el pronombre personal y finalmente el verbo en infinitivo (sin el "to") y el complemento.

Para la tercera persona al verbo no se le agrega "s", "es" o "ies", como en el presente simple afirmativo porque en el interrogativo se utiliza el auxiliar "does", el cual ya indica que se trata de tercera persona.

Por ello en el inciso 9 escribí:

Does she work in an office?

Sin la "s" en work.

Sería incorrecto escribir: Does she works in an office?

Sin embargo, en el afirmativo sí son necesarias las terminaciones "s", "es" o "ies" cuando se trata de tercera persona.

Ejemplo: She works in an office.

Ejemplo de tercera persona.

Aff: She works in an office

Int: Does she work in an office?

Neg: She doesn't work in an office.

Doesn't es la contracción de does not. Tampoco se escribe la "s" en la negación.

Ejemplo de primera  y segunda persona.

Aff: I work in an office.

En primera y segunda persona no se ponen las terminaciones "s", "es" o "ies".

Int: Do I work in an office?

Neg: I don't work in an office.

Don't es la contracción de do not.
