ISNT AND ARENT ARE MORE COMMON IN INFORMAL SPEAKING AND WRITING. IN QUESTIONS THE ORDER OF THE SUBJECT AND THE VERB CHANGE. THE VERB COMES BEFORE THE SUBJECT. WH WORDS, COME FIRST IN QUESTIONS. THEY CAN BE USED OR NOT., DEPENDING ON THE MEANING OF THE QUESTIONS: WHAT -> QU? WHO? -> QUIN? WHERE -> DNDE? WHY? -> POR QU? WHEN -> CUNDO? HOW? -> CMO?

WE USE THE PRESENT SIMPLE TO TALK ABOUT HABBITS. THE AUXILIARY VERB FOR PRESENT SIMPLE FORMS IS THE VERB DO. THATS THE REASON WHY W E MADE THE NEGATIVE WITH DO NOT OR DOES NOT, AND WHY W E MAKE QUESTIONS WITH THE VERB DO OR DOES BEFORE THE SUBJECT. AS DO IS THE AUXILIARY VERB, WE PUT THE S OF THE 3RD PERSON IN THE AUXILIARY VERB, AND THEN WE DONT PUT IT IN THE MAIN VERB. He doesnt play badminton. CORRECT He dont plays badminton. INCORRECT Does he play badminton? CORRECT Do he plays badminton? INCORRECT
