One Two Three with DO and DOES

Present simple with other verbs

Subject         +             Verb                +         Complement
    1                                2                                      3 

  He                          drinks                          water every monrning before breakfast.

Present simple with verb to be

Subject         +             Verb                +         Complement
    1                                2                                      3 

   She                           is                             always at home on the weekends.

What would you write on the line: do, does, is, am, are


1. _____Is____________ she     tall and pretty?
              2                           1                3

We use is because is third person and you only have 1 + 3 and you are missing 2 which is the verb. In this case, the verb is verb to be.


2. _____Does____________ she         clean         the house every day?
                                                1               2                      3

We have subject +  verb + complement (1 + 2 + 3) you only need an auxiliary. If you have a verb then you have an auxiliary in a question and in negative form


3. _____ARE____________ we good doctors?

4. ______DO___________ they wash their hands before surgery?

5. ______IS__________ it sick?

6. ______DOES___________ it eat well?

7. _______DO__________ we play soccer every Saturday?

You just have to follow the one two three rule like dance steps one two three, one two three
