Do & Does

ការបង្កើតប្រយោគសំណួរ

To ask a Yes/No question in the Present Simple, we start with a "helper" word: Do or Does.

ដើម្បីសួរគួរបញ្ជាក់ (Yes/No) ក្នុងបច្ចុប្បន្នកាល យើងត្រូវផ្តើមប្រយោគជាមួយពាក្យជំនួយ Do ឬ Does។

gpp_maybe The Double 'S' Trap!

When we use "Does", the main verb loses its "s"!

(ប្រយ័ត្ន! នៅពេលប្រយោគមានពាក្យ "Does" ហើយ កិរិយាសព្ទដើមត្រូវតែលុប 's' ចេញជានិច្ច!)
Does she likes? ❌

Teacher, why do we say "Does he have" and not "Does he has"?

Hello Bopha! This is a common trap! When we use "Does" in a question, it already shows the 3rd person singular (he/she/it). So, the main verb MUST go back to its base form ("have"). 🌟

No, Vireak. "Like" is an action verb. When asking a question with an action verb in Present Simple, we must use "Do" or "Does". So it should be: "Do you like apples?" ✅ We only use "Are" with adjectives or nouns (e.g., "Are you happy?").
