Questions are formed by inverting the word order from the usual Subject-Verb ("I am", "I do") to Verb-Subject ("am I", "do I"). **Auxiliaries** - If the verb is a form of an auxiliary verb such as "be", "have", "shall", "will", "may", "must", you simply perform the inversion on the original sentence. (An auxiliary is a helping verb that combines with another verb to express tense, aspect or mood.) So: - "I am going there" becomes "Am I going there?". - "She will be there" becomes "Will she be there?". - "I have seen it" becomes "Have I seen it?" If the verb is "**be**" then you still perform the inversion in this way even if "be" isn't acting as an auxiliary. So: - "She is sad" becomes "Is she sad?" - "He is there" becomes "Is he there?" If the verb is "**have**" acting as a main verb (not as an auxiliary) then this is possible too (though not mandatory). So, optionally: - "She has a car" can become "Has she a car?" **The dummy auxiliary 'do'** - For all other verbs (and optionally for "have" as a main verb), the dummy verb "**do**" is introduced. In an ordinary declarative (S-V) sentence, "do" is a marker of emphasis, whereas in a Verb-Subject sentence, "do" is purely a question-marker. ("I do see it", "she does know", "he does drive".) It is important to note that "**do**" is an auxiliary. **Non-finiteness of main verb as part of a complex tense etc.** - Where there is a complex verb (auxiliary plus main verb), the main verb takes a non-finite form, either a participle (where the auxiliary is "be" or "have") or an infinitive (so the 3rd person singular, or he/she/it, form *lacks* an '**-s**' ending). Hence: - "She must go" (*not* "goes") - "He might know" (*not* "knows"). - "It does work" (*not* "works"). - "It will fly" (*not* "flies"). Similarly, once inverted, the main verb must remain non-finite. So: - "It is working" --> "Is it working?" - "I have eaten" --> "Have I eaten?" - "She must go" -->" Must she go?" - "It will fly" --> "Will it fly?" - "It works" ("It does work) --> "Does it work?" Hence, "**Does your company work on PHP?**" (*not* "works"). "Does" is an auxiliary. The sentence is formally the inverted form of "your company does work on PHP". "**Is your company working on PHP**?" (*not* "works"). "**Do your company work on PHP**?" (*not* "works") - if you regard "company" as a collective noun (being treated as a plural). "Does" is the 3rd person singular form (he does, she does, it does). "Do" is used for the other persons and in all plural persons.
