Grammar Rules · Forming questions
Forming questions.
Most questions need do, does, or did before the subject: "Where do you live?", not "Where you live?" After did, the main verb goes back to its base form: "Did you see it?", not "Did you saw it?" When the question word is the subject itself, skip do: "Who called?"
