This is no English tutorial. But I would just like to post a little reminder to myself and to those who find English Grammar difficult. Well, tell you what? It is challenging. But we are doing not too bad actually. Okay ladies and gentlemen, here’s the gentle reminder:

.

DO QUESTIONS are those that use ‘do’, ‘does’ and ‘did’, such as:

1. Do you have anything planned for the holiday?
2. Does she really change her Facebook status every half an hour?
3. Did you see Tron with your kids last Sunday?
4. Why do you say things you don’t mean?
5. Where does he get his supply of keropok every month?
6. How did you two meet?

.

If you noticed, all the underlined words are in the base form. And that’s the way they should be. “Do Questions” do come with another verb that should remain in its base form – not past tense, not present singular, not participle or progressive tenses.

.

But how many of us do this:

2. Does she really changes / changed / changing her Facebook status every half an hour?

3. Did you saw Tron with your kids last Sunday?

5. Where does she gets /got / getting his supply of keropok every month?

6. How did you two met ?

.

Well, now that you know you shouldn’t be changing the verbs in ‘Do Questions’, it is up to you to be grammatical or non. I still catch myself making mistakes. And that is before YOU catch me. And if you can catch me, catch me gently ya? Hehehehe 🙂
