Where Did You Get That Car John Wick

Question construction. Is it ...? Have you...? Do you ...?

A

In questions, the verb (is/ are/ have etc.) is before the subject:

Positive
subject +verb

I am late.
That seat is free.
She was angry.
David has gone.
You have got a car.
They will be here soon.
Paula can swim.

Question
verb + subject

- Am I late?
- Is that seat free?
- Why was she angry?
- Where has David gone?
- Have you got a car?
- When will they be here?
- Can Paula swim?

Be careful, word order in sentences is important.
In questions the subject is after the first verb:

- Where has David gone? (not: - Where has gone David?)
- Are those people waiting for something? (not: - Are waiting ...)
- When was the telephone invented? (not: - When was invented ...)

B

Do ...?/ Does ...?/ Did ...?

Present Simple question:

Do       I/ we/ you/ they
Does    he/ she/ it

play
work
live
invite

Did I/ we/ you/ they/ he/ she/ it

play
work
live
invite
go etc.

- Do they work hard?
- How often do you watch television?
- Does Chris work hard?
- What time does she get up?

- Did they work hard?

Sometimes Do is the main verb (do you do/ did he do etc.):

- What does your brother do?
- I broke my finger last week. - How did you do that?

C
