Explain that in order to make a question in the Present Simple, we use "do" or "does" (for
he/she/it) in the beginning of the sentence. The subject then follows. Use L1 if needed.
Give example sentences for each pronoun in the Present Simple: Do I like to paint?,
Do you like to paint?, Does he like to paint?, etc.

Ask pupils to identify the subjects and verbs in the questions.
Remind pupils that sentences usually begin with a subject. Ask pupils to identify what these
sentences begin with (Elicit: Do/Does). Ask pupils what they think this means.
Tell pupils that in English we begin a question with Do (or Does when the subject is "He/She/It")

Explain to pupils that the answers (positive or negative) to the questions are often shortened
versions: Yes, I do (like to paint). Yes, you do (like to paint). No, she does not (like to paint).
Extension: Remind more advanced pupils of the short forms of the negative sentences. Explain that
