In English a question changes the word order: the verb or helper goes before the subject. With verbs other than be and modals you add do / does / did.
| Be / modal verb | Other verbs | |
|---|---|---|
| + | You are ready | You work here |
| − | You aren't ready | You don't work here |
| ? | Are you ready? | Do you work here? |
Wh- word first: Where do you work? · Short answers: Yes, I am. / No, I don't. · Subject questions have no do: Who works here?
With be, can, will and other modal verbs, put the verb before the subject to make a question.
