Challenge yourself with 40 advanced Present Simple questions across four sets: Wh- questions, frequency adverb position, tag questions, and a mixed advanced round including subject questions and indirect questions.
Wh- questions use: Wh- word + do/does + subject + base verb. Use does with he/she/it and do with I/you/we/they. Choose the missing word for each question.
Master Wh- questions, frequency adverb position, tag questions, and subject questions.
Always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely and never move around depending on the verb type.
The tag uses the same auxiliary as the main clause, but with the opposite polarity.
When who or what is the subject of the question, you do NOT use do/does and the word order stays normal.
| Pattern | Rule | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Wh- question | Wh- + do/does + subject + verb | Where does she work? |
| Freq. adverb (main verb) | Subject + adverb + verb | She always arrives late. |
| Freq. adverb (to be) | Subject + be + adverb | He is always late. |
| Tag (positive → neg.) | Positive sentence, neg. tag? | She works, doesn't she? |
| Tag (negative → pos.) | Negative sentence, pos. tag? | They don't know, do they? |
| Subject question | Wh- + verb (no do/does) | Who knows the answer? |
| Indirect question | Normal word order after if/whether/wh- | Do you know where she works? |
| Stative verbs | Always Present Simple, never continuous | I don't understand. (NOT am not understanding) |
