Wh- Questions

Questions with what, where, when, who, why, how, and the helper words do and does.

Where do you live?

First the question word: where. Then a helper word: do.

Forms

• What? · Where? · When? · Who? · Why? · How? — question words
• Where + do + you + live? — question word + do / does + person (I, you, he…) + action word
• What + is + your name? — with am / is / are: no do

A common mistake

Wrong: Where you live?

Right: Where do you live?

Don't forget the helper do. We say: Where do you live?

More examples

What does she like?

With she, we use does. And the verb has no S: like.

Why is he sad?

With is, there is no do.
