✅ Answer Key with Very Detailed Explanations
1. Do you like coffee?
Correct: a) Do
Why:
Questions in the present simple use do/does + subject + base verb.
Why others are wrong:
does → used with he/she/it
are → verb to be, not used with “like” here
Rule:
I/you/we/they → do
he/she/it → does
2. She doesn’t work on Sundays.
Correct: b) doesn’t
Why:
“She” = he/she/it → doesn’t for negatives.
Important:
After doesn’t, the verb is base form (work, not works).
3. Does he live near here?
Correct: b) Does
Why:
“He” needs does in questions.
Common mistake:
❌ Does he lives… (double -s → wrong)

Correct: a) don’t
Why:
“We” uses do not (don’t) for negatives.
