Hello everybody! Do you know what today’s lesson is about?
Yes, Sally told me that it was about making questions with do," "does" "did."
Isn’t that why you’ve started the lesson with a "do" question?
You’re correct, Pete! "Do," "does" and "did" can be used to start yes or no questions,
but choosing the correct word among "do," "does" and "did" is important.
Do you know how to frame questions with all of these three words?
Yes. "Do" is used in plural and in the present tense. For example, Do Sarah and Anne know we are here?
Yes, they know we’re here. You used "do" in your question because you were asking about more than one person.
Yes, but “do" is also used when the subject is "I" or "you."
For example: Do you know how to make yes-no questions with do?
Great example, Victor! Do I find this lesson interesting? Yes!
That’s right, Sally! See, when you were asking a question about yourself, you used "do."
in short, "do" is used at the start of the question when the subject is either I or you, or if the subject is plural.
And in the question, the action is always in the present, for example, “Do your students know how to write a letter?
That’s an awesome summary of how to make questions with "do." Great job, Pete and Sally!
What about "does" and “did"?
They are used similarly. "Does" is used to start questions about the present when the subject is singular,
i.e ,when we are talking about one person and the present tense.For example :does cara live with her parents?
Yes, I believe she does.since you are asking only about cara you used "does".
Yes, it’s used when the subject is "he," "she," "it" or a single person or thing. Did you already know that this class was scheduled today?
Yes, Sally told me this morning. You used "did" in your question because the question is in the past tense, right?
yes and so did you!"did" is used to form question in the past tense for both singular and plural subjects.
Now Let’s listen to some sample conversations .

I want a checking account and I heard your Basic Banking package would be the best one for me.
The Basic Banking is perfect for the ones who write only a few checks or keep a small checking balance.
That is me! So how do I apply?
Sir, first you need to fill out this form. If you do it now I can submit it as soon as today.
I’m afraid I don’t have the time to do so now.. Can we do this tomorrow?
Absolutely. Just ask for me at the front desk. My name’s Denice.
I’ll do that, thanks.

I’m doing good. How can I help you today?
Well, I would like to close my checking account.
Oh.. but if you don’t mind me asking, what happened, Sir? You’ve been such a good client.
Yes, you’re right. But this bank has been the worst. I’d like to use the services of another bank
And I don’t mean to be rude but I’ve made up my mind so please just tell me what I need to do
Sure Sir. You will need to fill out an account closure form.
Okay.Please just give me the form

I need to go to a shoe store in the mall quickly.
You should take the elevator to the third floor and then walk straight down the aisle until you see Nine West Shoes.
That seems far and I have to rush.
Wouldn’t it be faster to go to Guess Shoes on the first floor next to the candy store?
Yes, it would be.
You can exit the store directly into the parking lot afterwards. Just pass the cashier and walk out the back door.
Which back door? There are two.
The one on the left with a sign that says, “Parking Lot Exit”.
I will be driving to the beach this weekend.

Do you know if the beach exit is on the right or left?
You will have to stay to the right.
Thanks!
