SOMETHING NEW No. 24 THE AUXILIARIES DO and DOES: The auxiliaries DO and DOES mean present tense. With all verbs, it is impossible to ask a question in the present tense without the auxiliary DO or DOES. The only exception to this rule is the verb TO BE (am, is, are). DO is used with all persons except the third person singular where it changes to DOES. As auxiliaries, DO and DOES have no equivalent in Spanish. We consider DO and DOES as though they were the spoken or written question marks (¿). After all auxiliaries, we always use the simple form of the principal verb. Study these examples:

(¿) Do you live near the school? (¿) Does William live near the school? (¿) Do the children wash every morning? (¿) Does the child wash every morning? (¿) Do they eat dinner downtown? (¿) Does she eat dinner downtown? (¿) Do they do the exercises? (¿) Does Susan do the exercises? (¿) Do they have an English book? (¿) Does that man have an English book? (¿) Do you study every day? (¿) Does Alan study every day? (¿) Do they go to the movies? (¿) Does the boy go to the movies?

The only exception to this rule is the verb TO BE: Am I a good student? Is Mr. Roberts a doctor? Are they good friends? Is there a class this Saturday? Are there apples on the table?
