本周我们回答来自中国的杨的问题1e4I*yL,A-1jIZ&。杨写道，

I'm confused with the be verb and the do verb.

我对动词be和do有点困惑fr(gb%Vbhhn[w0uxox=。

Which one should I use, especially when making a question? – Yang, China

我该使用哪个单词，尤其是在提问题的时候？

Dear Yang,

亲爱的杨，

Do you want to learn how to ask questions with ?

你想学习如何用do提问吗？

Are you learning about the be verb, too?

也在学习be动词吗？

I just used those verbs to ask you questions!

那我就用这两个动词问你几个问题！

Be and do are called auxiliary or "helping" verbs.

Be和do被称为助动词^G0mB0G1)t*。

That means they help make questions or negative statements with main verbs.

这意味着他们可以帮助主动词进行提问或否定VWm&G;;Yel。

To answer your question, let us start with the auxiliary verb do.

为了回答你的问题，让我们从助动词do开始Lv.,Tw-%iB-F_52_。

Use do when you make a question in the simple present tense.

当你以一般现在式提问时，就用douZ,6Bk],i)Wxar,Fr;eY。

In the following questions, the main verb does not change.

在以下问题中，主动词不变.|s-Cl,De_*-]+wb^uu。

What do you want to eat? ("want" is the main verb)

你想吃什么？（“want”是主动词）

Does she like her job?

她喜欢她的工作吗？

You also can use do to ask a question in the simple past tense.

你还可以使用do的一般过去式提问8!^z~q~YFEQFB,A+k。

Use the past tense, "did" with the main verb, as in these questions.

与这些问题一样，使用过去式“did”和主动词xyqltheZt.aYUh。

你昨天吃披萨了吗？（“eat”是主动词）

Which car did you buy?

Use the helping verb do when using "not" in a question or statement in the simple present or past.

Here are two examples:

以下是两个例子：

Why don't you ask her?

你为什么不问她？

Didn't he go to the party?

他没去派对吗？

Use be when you want to make a question in the present continuous or past continuous tense.

当你想以现在进行时或过去进行时提问时，使用beVq3|TkbyOaIt%~)px。

The continuous form of English verbs adds the letters ‘i-n-g' to the end of the main verb and be matches the subject.

英语动词的进行时是在主动词的末尾添加字母“ i-n-g”，be与主语一致b%eDW&r7COu。

These questions can be negative, too.

这些可以用在反问句中的q6Ut2tOc@jnrM9。

Are you thinking about the Christmas party?

你在考虑圣诞晚会吗？

Were they making dinner when you arrived?
