ESL: Be Or Do Questions

This question is asking about the present continuous tense, which is used to talk about actions happening at the current moment. The correct answer "are" is the present continuous form of the verb "to be." It matches with the question word "What" and indicates that the action being referred to is happening right now.

The question is asking about the subject of the sentence, which is "you." In this case, "do" is the correct answer because it agrees with the subject "you."

The question is asking about the state or condition of the weather, which is a singular noun. Therefore, the correct form of the verb to use is "is."

The correct answer is "does" because the question is asking about the number of sisters she has, which is a singular subject. In English, when the subject is singular, we use "does" as the helping verb in a question.

The correct answer is "are" because the question is asking about the subject of the sentence, which is "you." In this case, "you" is plural, so the appropriate verb to use is "are."

The correct answer is "Are" because the subject "Peter and Lynn" is plural, indicating that there are multiple teachers. Therefore, the correct verb form to use with a plural subject is "are."

The word "is" is the correct answer because it is used to form a question in the present tense. In this case, the question is asking about Anna's height, so the correct way to ask the question is "Is Anna tall or short?" The words "does" and "do" are used to form questions in the present tense for third person singular and plural subjects, respectively. However, in this question, we are specifically asking about Anna, so "is" is the appropriate choice.

The correct answer is "Is" because the question is asking about a singular subject, "he," and the verb form "is" is used for singular subjects in the present tense.

The word "did" is the correct answer because it is the past tense form of the auxiliary verb "do." In this question, we are asking about the past action of going somewhere last night. The verb "go" needs to be in the past tense to match the time frame of the question, so we use "did" to form the question correctly.

The correct answer is "Are." This is because the subject of the sentence is "the children," which is plural. In English, when the subject is plural, we use the verb form "are" to agree with it. Therefore, the correct question should be "Are the children playing in the backyard?"

The correct answer is "Is" because the question is asking about the present situation or action of Jack reading. "Is" is the correct form of the verb "to be" for the present tense.

The correct answer is "is" because the question is asking about a singular event, which is the person's birthday.

The correct answer is "Did." This is because the question is asking about making an appointment with the doctor in the past. "Did" is the past tense form of the verb "do," which is used to form questions and negatives in the past simple tense.

The correct answer is "does" because the question is asking about the time that the bank opens, which is a habitual action. In English, we use the auxiliary verb "do" to form questions in the present simple tense. Therefore, the correct question formation is "What time does the bank open?"

The correct answer is "Were" because the question is asking about the subject "you" in the past tense. "Were" is the past tense form of the verb "to be" used with the pronoun "you."
