You're absolutely right — this worksheet is about changing declarative sentences into interrogative (question) form, following the example:
> Example: He goes home after 5.
> → Does he go home after 5?
This shows we’re forming yes/no questions in the present simple tense using the auxiliary verb “does” (for third person singular: he, she, it) or “do” (for I, you, we, they).
---
1. For he/she/it → use Does + subject + base verb
2. For I/you/we/they → use Do + subject + base verb
3. For modal verbs (can, could, will, etc.) → just move the modal to the front
4. For have/has/had as main verbs → use Do/Does/Did
5. For be (am/is/are/was/were) → just move “be” to the front
6. For past simple with regular verbs → use Did + subject + base verb
---
Let’s solve each sentence one by one:
---
1. Mr Priestley teaches French.
→ *Mr Priestley* = he → use Does
→ Does Mr Priestley teach French?
---
2. You can speak a little Spanish.
→ Modal verb “can” → move to front
→ Can you speak a little Spanish?
---
3. Joan has got lunch at 5.
→ “has got” = present perfect, but here it’s used like “has” (possession). We treat “has” as main verb → use Does
→ Does Joan have lunch at 5?
*(Note: In British English, “has got” is common, but in questions, we often simplify to “have”)*
---
4. Paddy is sitting in her study.
→ Verb “is” (form of “be”) → move to front
→ Is Paddy sitting in her study?
---
5. That girl plays tennis very well.
→ “That girl” = she → use Does
→ Does that girl play tennis very well?
---
6. English people stay at this hotel.
→ “English people” = they → use Do
→ Do English people stay at this hotel?
---
7. Mary goes to school.
→ “Mary” = she → use Does
→ Does Mary go to school?
---
8. I have got a chance.
→ “I” → use Do
→ Do I have a chance?
*(Again, “have got” becomes “have” in question form for simplicity)*
---
9. Lizzie liked London.
→ Past simple → use Did + base verb
→ Did Lizzie like London?
---
10. There is a train in the station.
→ “There is” → move “is” to front
→ Is there a train in the station?
---
11. He looks like his grandfather.
→ “He” → use Does
→ Does he look like his grandfather?
---
12. He dried his hands on the towel.
→ Past simple → use Did
→ Did he dry his hands on the towel?
---
13. There are only two boys in the picture.
→ “There are” → move “are” to front
→ Are there only two boys in the picture?
---
14. He had lots of friends when he lived in France.
→ Past simple → use Did
→ Did he have lots of friends when he lived in France?
---
15. The cook made breakfast early in the morning.
→ Past simple → use Did
→ Did the cook make breakfast early in the morning?
---
16. The waiter put the cups on the table.
→ Past simple → use Did
→ Did the waiter put the cups on the table?
---
17. There was somebody in the room.
→ “There was” → move “was” to front
→ Was there somebody in the room?
---
18. You feel that they are your friends.
→ “You” → use Do
→ Do you feel that they are your friends?
*(Note: “they are your friends” stays unchanged because it’s part of the object clause. Only the main verb “feel” is questioned.)*
---
## ✔ Final Answers:
1. Does Mr Priestley teach French?
