LET´S CHECK OUT THE SUBJECTS PRONOUNS

WHAT ARE THE SUBJECTS PRONOUNS?

Pronouns are small words that take the place of a noun. We can use a pronoun instead of a noun. Pronouns are words like: I, he, you, she, it, we, they... If we didn't have pronouns, we would have to repeat a lot of nouns. We would have to say things like:

Do you like the manager? I don't like the manager. The manager's not friendly.

With pronouns, we can say:

Do you like the manager? I don't like him. He's not friendly.

DO – DOES - DID Auxiliary (Helping) Verbs

Auxiliary means functioning in a supporting capacity, and that is exactly what these auxiliary verbs do, which is why they are also known as helping verbs. They are used together with a main verb to give grammatical information and therefore add extra meaning to a sentence; information that is not given by the main verb.

Examples:

Do you have a pencil?

Did they have a pencil?

Does he has a pencil?

The verb do is one of the most common verbs in English. It can be used as an auxiliary and a main

verb. It is often used in questions.

Base form = DO

Present form = DO/DOES

Past form = DID

EXAMPLES DO- DOES- DIDPOSITIVEPete always does his taxes on time.Volunteers do a lot of work around the town.
