Asking questions in English is easier when you know the right pattern. In the present simple, we often use the auxiliary verbs do and does to build questions about habits, routines, and facts. The subject (the person or thing the question is about) comes after the auxiliary, and the main verb stays in its base form.

There are two main types of questions. Yes/No questions expect the answer yes or no. They begin with Do (for I, you, we, they) or Does (for he, she, it), followed by the subject and the base verb. For example: "Do you study English every day?" — the answer can be "Yes, I do" or "No, I don't." Notice that we use don't or doesn't in negative short answers, never "don't do" or similar forms.

Wh- questions ask for specific information. They begin with a question word such as what, where, when, why, who, or how, followed by do or does, then the subject, and finally the base verb. For example: "What languages do you speak?" The answer gives real information, not just yes or no. The order is important: the question word always comes first, then the auxiliary, then the subject, and only then the main verb.

A useful tip: never put the question word between the subject and the verb. Say "Where do you live?" not "Where you do live?" This fixed order is what makes English questions sound natural.

Question type Structure Example
Yes/No Do/Does + subject + verb Do you speak French?
Yes/No answer (+) Yes, + do/does Yes, I do.
Yes/No answer (-) No, + don't/doesn't No, I don't.
Wh- Wh- + Do/Does + subject + verb What do you study?
Wh- answer Real information I study English.

To form a negative sentence, use don't or doesn't + the base verb: "I don't speak German." Notice that the main verb does not add an -s ending when we use the auxiliary. The -s moves from the main verb to the auxiliary: "He speaks English" (statement) → "Does he speak English?" (question). This shift is one of the most common mistakes learners make, so watch for it carefully. When answering with short forms, copy the auxiliary from the question. If the question uses do, answer with do or don't. If it uses does, answer with does or doesn't. Short answers are polite and quick.

إزاي تسأل أسئلة بالإنجليزي بسهولة؟

السر كله في كلمة صغيرة اسمها المساعد (auxiliary)، يعني do وdoes. القاعدة دي بتتكتب لما تحب تسأل عن حاجة بتتعمل كل يوم، زي "بتذاكر إنجليزي كل يوم؟" أو "بتتكلم إيه لغات؟".

القاعدة الأساسية

في السؤال في المضارع البسيط، بنحط المساعد قبل الشخص، وبعدين الفعل في صورته الأصلية من غير أي إضافات. يعني بنقول Do you study English? مش Do you studies English.

نوعين من الأسئلة

أولاً: أسئلة الإجابة بنعم أو لأ (Yes/No Questions)

بتبدأ بـ Do لو بتسأل عن I, you, we, they، أو Does لو بتسأل عن he, she, it، وبعدين الشخص، وبعدين الفعل. مثلاً:

  • Do you speak French?
  • Does she study Arabic?

الإجابة بتبقى قصيرة: "Yes, I do" أو "No, I don't". خلي بالك إن الإجابة السلبية بتستخدم don't أو doesn't، مش don't do.

ثانياً: أسئلة المعلومات (Wh- Questions)

دي بتبدأ بكلمة سؤال زي what, where, when, why, who, how، وبعدين do أو does، وبعدين الشخص، وبعدين الفعل. مثلاً:

  • What languages do you speak?
  • Where does he live?

الإجابة بتبقى معلومة حقيقية مش بنعم أو لأ.

ترتيب مهم جداً

كلمة السؤال لازم تبقى الأول، بعدين المساعد، بعدين الشخص، وأخيراً الفعل. ما تقولش "Where you do live?"، قول Where do you live?. ده الترتيب اللي بيخلي السؤال يبان طبيعي.

نصيحة ذهبية

لاحظ إن الفعل الرئيسي بيفضل في صورته الأصلية لما بنستخدم المساعد. يعني:

  • He speaks English (جملة عادية)
  • Does he speak English? (سؤال)

الـ -s بتتنقل من الفعل للمساعد. وفي الإجابات القصيرة، انسخ المساعد من السؤال: لو السؤال استخدم do، الإجابة تستخدم do أو don't. لو استخدم does، الإجابة تستخدم does أو doesn't. خلي بالك من التمارين اللي جاية، ركز على مكان المساعد، وخد بالك من الـ s اللي بتتنقل.

Do you study English every day?

Notice the word order: auxiliary (do) + subject (you) + verb (study).

What languages do you speak?

Now a Wh- question: question word (what) + auxiliary (do) + subject (you) + verb (speak).

Required

Look at the two questions above. What comes right after the question word in a Wh- question?

  • the verb
  • the subject
  • do/does
  • a comma
Required

In a Wh- question, the subject comes before the auxiliary verb.

Required

___ you speak French?

Required

What languages ___ she speak?

Required

How do you answer 'Does she study English?' when the answer is yes?

  • Yes, she do.
  • Yes, she does.
  • Yes, she is.
  • Yes, she study.
Required

Put the words in the correct order to make a Wh- question.

  1. you
  2. speak
  3. What
  4. do
  5. languages
  6. ?
Required

Drag the correct auxiliary verb (do or does) into each question.

  • does
  • do
  • does
  • do

What you study?

Where she live?

When you practise English?

Why he learn English?

Listening

Listening

5 cards

You will hear a short conversation between two students, Emma and Tom, who meet in an English class. They introduce themselves and ask each other about their language learning. As you listen, focus on the question forms they use. Both speakers ask Wh- questions (about what, how long, and how often) and Yes/No questions (about study habits). Before you listen, predict: when you meet someone new at a language school, what questions do you usually ask them? You might ask their name, where they are from, what languages they speak, how long they have studied English, or whether they enjoy learning. Listen for these topics in the dialogue.

In the dialogue, both speakers use the present simple to talk about habits. Emma says "I study English every day," and Tom says "I watch films in English." They ask each other Yes/No questions with do (because both speakers use I/you, not he/she), and Wh- questions with words like what, how long, and how often. Pay close attention to the word order: the question word comes first, then do, then the subject, then the verb.

When you listen the first time, do not try to catch every word. Just listen for the general topic and the kind of information they share. When you listen a second time, you can focus on the specific answers: names of languages, numbers of years, and daily activities. This two-step approach is a useful skill for real-life listening. The setting of the dialogue is the first day of an evening English class. The two speakers do not know each other well, so the conversation is polite and friendly. The tone is a good model for the speaking section, where you will practise similar questions with the AI teacher.

In British English, the speakers use the short form "I'm" instead of "I am," and the contraction "don't" instead of "do not." These are normal in spoken English. You can use them too in your own answers. Also notice the intonation: Tom's question "And you?" rises at the end, but Emma's question "What languages do you speak?" falls at the end because it is a Wh- question. Rising or falling intonation helps the listener know what kind of answer to give. Now listen to the dialogue and answer the questions that follow.

المشهد العام

هتدخل في الدرس ده على محادثة بين اتنين بيذاكروا English في كلاس مسائي. إيمي وتوم قابلوا بعض في أول يوم، وبدأوا يسألوا بعض أسئلة بسيطة عن اللغات اللي بيتكلموها وقد إيه بيذاكروا. الحواد ده بسيط، لكنه يورّيك إزاي تفتح محادثة مع حد جديد في أي كلاس لغات.

أنواع الأسئلة في المحادثة

في الكلام ده هتلاقي نوعين أساسيين من الأسئلة:

  • أسئلة Wh-: ودي بتبدأ بكلمات زي what و how long. مثلاً: "How long have you been studying?" و "What languages do you speak?"
  • أسئلة Yes/No: ودي محتاجة فعل مساعد عشان الإجابة تكون yes أو no. مثلاً: "Are you studying English here?" و "Do you practise speaking every day?"

نقطة مهمة: لما تيجي تعمل سؤال Yes/No في المضارع البسيط مع I أو you أو we أو they، بنستخدم do مش does. الـ does بتيجي بس مع he و she و it.

ترتيب الكلمات في الأسئلة

في أسئلة Wh-، الترتيب دايماً واحد: كلمة السؤال الأول، وبعدين do، وبعدين الفاعل، وبعدين الفعل. بص كده: "What languages do you speak?" - what هي السؤال، do هو المساعد، you هو الفاعل، speak هو الفعل الأساسي. خلي بالك من الترتيب ده عشان متغلطش.

المضارع البسيط للعادات اليومية

الاتنين بيستخدموا المضارع البسيط عشان يتكلموا عن عادات ثابتة. توم بيقول "I study English every evening" وإيمي بتسأله "Do you practise speaking every day?". وجود كلمات زي every day و every evening بيأكد إن الكلام ده عن روتين، مش عن حاجة بتحصل مرة واحدة.

استراتيجية الاستماع

أول مرة تسمع، متحاولش تمسك كل كلمة. ركّز بس على الفكرة العامة: مين بيكلم مين، وبيدرسوا إيه. تاني مرة، ركّز على التفاصيل: أسماء اللغات، عدد السنين، والأنشطة اليومية. الطريقة دي من أحسن طرق تحسين مهارة الاستماع في الحياة الحقيقية.

ملاحظات على الإنجليزية البريطانية

في اللغة البريطانية هتلاقي اختصارات كتير زي "I'm" بدل "I am" و"don't" بدل "do not". دول طبيعي في الكلام اليومي، فمتترددش تستخدمهم في إجاباتك. وكمان لاحظ الـ intonation (نبرة الصوت): سؤال "And you?" بينتهي بنبرة طالعة عشانه Yes/No question، لكن "What languages do you speak?" بينتهي بنبرة نازلة عشانه Wh- question. النبرة بتساعد اللي قدامك يعرف نوع الإجابة اللي محتاجها.

Two students, Emma and Tom, meet on the first day of an evening English class. They greet each other and ask about their language learning.

  1. E
    Emma Hi! Are you studying English here?
  2. T

  5. E
    Emma I speak Arabic and a little French. And you?
  6. T
    Tom I speak English and German. My English is getting better.
  7. E
    Emma Do you practise speaking every day?
  8. T
    Tom Yes, I do. I watch films in English. What about you?
  9. E
    Emma I read short stories in English. It helps my vocabulary.
  10. T

Pronunciation

Pronunciation

6 cards

English has many question words — what, when, where, why, we, with — that all begin with the sound /w/. In British English, this /w/ is a short, voiced sound. To make it, round your lips into a small tight circle, like you are going to whistle, then release the air while opening your mouth quickly. Your tongue stays at the back, low and relaxed. The sound is not the same as the English /v/ (where the top teeth touch the bottom lip) or the vowel /uː/ ("oo" in "food").

Many learners from Arabic-speaking backgrounds replace /w/ with /v/, so "wine" sounds like "vine," or "wet" sounds like "vet." The two sounds are different: /w/ uses rounded lips with no teeth, while /v/ uses the upper teeth on the lower lip. Practising the lip shape is the fastest way to fix this. The /w/ sound is fully voiced — your vocal cords vibrate as you say it — and the air flows out freely through the rounded lips.

Below are six common words that begin with /w/ in English. Notice how your lips move as you say each one.

Word Sound
what /wɒt/
when /wen/
where /weə/
why /waɪ/
we /wiː/
with /wɪð/

These six words appear again in the questions you will ask and answer. Saying them clearly will make your English easier to understand. You can hear /w/ at the start of almost every Wh- question word except who and how (in British English, who starts with /h/, and how starts with /h/). So /w/ is the marker sound of what, when, where, and why — four of the most common question words in English. If you say them with a clear /w/, native speakers will find your questions much easier to follow.

A quick exercise: say the word "very" and feel your top teeth touch your bottom lip. Now say "we" and feel your lips round and release. The two actions are very different. Repeat "we — very — we — very" several times and you will start to feel the difference in your mouth. /w/ also appears in the middle and at the end of many English words, such as always, between, know, and how. But for this lesson, we focus on the sound at the beginning of question words. Listen carefully to the dialogue in the listening section and notice how the speakers pronounce "what," "where," and "we." Try to copy the same lip shape when you say your own questions.

صوت الـ /w/ في الإنجليزي

كلمة what اللي بتقولها كل ما تسأل سؤال في الإنجليزي، فيها صوت مهم جداً اسمه /w/. الصوت ده بيظهر في معظم كلمات الأسئلة اللي بنسميها Wh- words: what, when, where, why. لو اتعلمت تنطقه صح، أسئلتك هتبقى واضحة جداً للي بيسمعك.

إزاي بتعمل الصوت ده بظبط؟

أولاً، شفايفك لازم تتعمل دايرة صغيرة ومشدودة، زي ما بتعمل لما هتصفر كده. لسانك يكون متريّح في آخر بقك ومنزل لتحت. بعدين، طلّع الهوا بسرعة من بقك وانت فاتح شفايفك فجأة. وافتكر إن الصوت ده voiced، يعني الأوتار الصوتية في زورك بتتهز، فهتحس برعشة خفيفة وانت بتقوله.

الغلطة الشائعة: الخلط بين /w/ و /v/

أغلب الناس اللي بيتكلموا عربي بيخلطوا بين /w/ و /v/. عشان كده wine بتتقال vine، و wet بتتقال vet. الفرق بسيط بس مهم جداً: صوت الـ /w/ شفايفك بس بتتعمل دايرة من غير ما أسنانك تلمس خدك. لكن الـ /v/ سنانك اللي فوق بيلمس شفتك اللي تحت.

الكلمات في الدرس

هتلاقي ست كلمات كلهم بيبدأوا بصوت الـ /w/:

  • what /wɒt/
  • when /wen/
  • where /weə/
  • why /waɪ/
  • we /wiː/
  • with /wɪð/

كل دول هي اللي هتستخدمهم لما تسأل What do you study? أو Where do you live? أو When do you study English?. لازم الـ /w/ تبقى واضحة عشان السؤال يفهموه على طول.

تمرين سريع

قول we — very — we — very كذا مرة ورا بعض. قول we وحس بظبط شفايفك وهي بتعمل دايرة، بعدين قول very وحس بأسنانك وهي بتمس شفتك. الفرق في بقك هيبان من أول مرة، ومع التمرير هتقدر تفرق بين الصوتين بسهولة.

To make /w/, round your lips into a small tight circle (like you are about to whistle) and release the air while opening your mouth. Your tongue stays low at the back. This sound is voiced — your vocal cords vibrate. It is different from /v/, where the upper teeth touch the lower lip.

Required

Listen carefully to the word. Which one did you hear?

  • wet
  • vet
Required

Say the word clearly. Round your lips for the /w/ sound at the start.

what

Required

Say the question out loud. Notice the /w/ at the start of 'where' and the falling intonation of a Wh- question.

Where do you live?

Required

Say the question out loud. Keep the /w/ in 'when' clear and round, and let your voice fall at the end.

When do you study English?

Asking questions is the heart of a good conversation. In this section, you will practise the question forms you learned earlier, in the context of language learning. The model dialogue below shows two students, Aisha and Ben, greeting each other and asking about their studies. Notice the four main question patterns they use: Yes/No with do, Wh- with what, Wh- with how long, and Wh- with how often.

Here are the most useful phrases for this speaking task. Each one comes with a short translation to help you understand its meaning.

English phrase Translation
Do you speak any other languages? هل تتحدث لغات أخرى؟
What languages do you study? ما اللغات التي تدرسها؟
How long have you been learning English? منذ متى وأنت تتعلم الإنجليزية؟
How often do you practise? كم مرة تمارس؟
I'm fluent in English. أنا طلِق في الإنجليزية.
I want to improve my pronunciation. أريد أن أحسّن نطقي.

You will hear a model dialogue, then repeat the key sentences out loud, and finally have a short conversation with the AI. Keep your voice clear, your lip shape round for /w/ words, and your intonation rising for Yes/No questions and falling for Wh- questions.

The model dialogue is short on purpose. In real life, you do not need many lines to start a friendly conversation. Three or four good questions are enough to show interest and keep the talk going. After the other person answers, follow up with a related question, such as "How long have you studied it?" or "Do you enjoy learning new words?" These follow-up questions show that you are listening.

When you speak, remember the word order from the grammar section: question word + do/does + subject + verb. If you forget the order, the question will sound strange. Slow down and check each part of the sentence before you say it. Good intonation also matters. For Yes/No questions, your voice should rise at the end — "Do you speak French?" For Wh- questions, your voice should fall at the end — "What languages do you speak?" The model dialogue shows this pattern clearly.

If you do not understand an answer, you have two polite options. You can say "Sorry, could you repeat that, please?" or you can ask "What do you mean?" Both phrases are useful in real conversations and show that you are engaged. For the roleplay at the end, the AI will play the role of a new classmate. You will greet them, ask their name, and ask at least three questions about their language learning. Try to use a mix of Yes/No and Wh- questions. Now you are ready: listen to the model, repeat the key phrases, and then start the roleplay.

إزاي تسأل عن تعلُّم اللغات بالإنجليزي

الموقف هنا بسيط وبجد: إنت قابلت زميل جديد في كورس لغات، وعايز تبدأ معاه محادثة ودّية وتبيِّنله إنك مهتم. الجُمل اللي هتقولها قصيرة، بس وراها أربع أشكال أساسية لازم تفهمها كويس.

الأنواع الأربعة للأسئلة

  • Yes/No questions: السؤال اللي إجابته "أيوا" أو "لا"، وبيبدأ بـ do أو does. مثلاً: Do you speak any other languages? (هل بتتكلم لغات تانية؟). الـ do دايماً قبل الفاعل، مش بعده.
  • Wh- questions: الأسئلة اللي بتبدأ بكلمة استفهام. مع what بنسأل عن نوع الحاجة: What languages do you study? (إيه اللغات اللي بتدرسها؟).
  • How long: بنسأل عن المدة، والجرامير بيستخدم present perfect لأن الموضوع بدأ في الماضي ومستمر لحد دلوقتي: How long have you been learning English? (منذ إمتى وإنت بتتعلم إنجليزي؟).
  • How often: بنسأل عن عدد المرات في فترة معينة: How often do you practise speaking? (كل قد إيه بتتمرن على الكلام؟).

الـ Intonation (طريقة الصوت)

الفروق دي مهمة جداً عشان السامع يفهم إنك بتسأل:

  • في Yes/No questions صوتك يبقى طالع في الآخر، زي: Do you speak French?
  • في Wh- questions صوتك يبقى نازل في الآخر، زي: What languages do you study?

عبارات تكمِّل بيها المحادثة

  • I study English and a little Spanish. (أنا بدرس إنجليزي وشوية إسباني). كلمة a little معناها "قليل" وبتيجي قبل الأسماء الغير قابلة للعدد.
  • I want to improve my pronunciation. (عايز أحسِّن نطقي). Improve يعني تحسِّن، وpronunciation هي طريقة نطقك للكلمات.
  • Every day, for about thirty minutes. (كل يوم، حوالي تلاتين دقيقة). بنستخدم for + مدة لما نتكلم عن استغرقنا قد إيه.
  • I'm fluent in English. (أنا بطلُق في الإنجليزي). Fluent معناها إنك بتتكلم بطلاقة.

نصيحة للـ Roleplay

لما تولَّع مع الـ AI، حاول تعمل mix بين نوعي الأسئلة: واحد Yes/No على الأقل واتنين Wh-. ابدأ بالسؤال عن اللغات، وبعدين اسأل عن المدة، وبعدين عن عدد المرات. كده هتبيِّن إنك شاطر ومستمع كويس، وده بالظبط اللي بيخلي المحادثة تمشي.

Two classmates, Aisha and Ben, greet each other and ask about their language studies.

  1. A
    Aisha Hi! What languages do you study?
  2. B
    Ben I study English and a little Spanish. And you?
  3. A
    Aisha I study English and French. How long have you been learning?
  4. B
    Ben For three years. How often do you practise speaking?
  5. A
    Aisha Every day, for about thirty minutes. I want to improve my pronunciation.

What languages do you study?

This is a key Wh- question you can use in the roleplay. Say it clearly with falling intonation at the end.

Required

Read the question out loud. Use rising intonation at the end — the answer should be yes or no.

Do you speak any other languages?

Required

Read the question out loud. Use falling intonation — the answer is not just yes or no.

How often do you practise speaking English?

Required

You meet a new classmate at your English school. Greet them, find out their name, and ask three questions about the languages they study, how long they have been learning, and how often they practise. Use a mix of Yes/No and Wh- questions, and try to use the /w/ sound clearly in words like 'what', 'where', and 'we'.

Vocabulary

6 cards

To talk about learning a language, you need a small set of key words. The list below covers the verbs, nouns, and adjectives that English speakers use most often when they discuss studying, practising, and improving a language. Each word comes with a short example so you can see how it works in a real sentence.

Word Part of speech Meaning (gloss) Example
learn verb يتعلم (to gain knowledge of) I want to learn Spanish this year.
study verb يدرس (to work on a subject, often at school) She studies English at school.
speak verb يتحدث (to say words in a language) He speaks three languages.
practice verb يمارس / يتدرب (to do something many times to get better) I practice speaking every morning.
improve verb يحسّن / يطوّر (to make better) Reading helps you improve your vocabulary.
fluent adjective طلِق / بليغ (able to speak smoothly) She is fluent in French.
pronunciation noun النطق (the way you say words) His pronunciation is very clear.
vocabulary noun المفردات (the words you know) I write new vocabulary in a notebook.

A few of these words work together. You learn a language by studying grammar and vocabulary, by practising speaking, and by working on your pronunciation. Over time, you improve, and one day you become fluent.

Notice the difference between learn and study. We learn a language (a personal process), but we study a language at school or in a class. You can also learn a single word, but you usually study a whole subject. Most of these words are very common in everyday English. You will hear them in classrooms, in language apps, and in conversations like the one in the listening section. Try to recognise each word in context: when you read or hear a sentence about learning English, look for learn, study, speak, practice, and improve — they appear again and again.

When you speak a language every day, your fluency grows quickly. Listening to songs, watching films, and reading simple books all help you improve. A learner who practices for thirty minutes a day usually becomes fluent faster than one who only studies once a week. Keep these eight words in mind — they will appear in the practice below.

كلمات أساسية عن تعلّم اللغات

في الجزء ده هنتعلم مجموعة كلمات إنجليزي أساسية بيستخدمها أي حد بيتكلم عن تعلّم لغة. الكلمات دي هتظهر معاك في كورسات تانية، وكمان لما تيجي تسأل حد عن مستواه في الإنجليزي أو تشرح لحد إنت بتتعلم إيه. لو حفظتهم كويس، هتقدر تتكلم عن رحلة تعلّمك للغة بطلاقة وراحة.

الفرق بين learn و study

ده أهم فرق لازم تفهمه كويس. learn بنقولها لما حد بيتعلم حاجة جديدة لوحده أو في الحياة اليومية. مثلاً: "I want to learn Spanish this year" (عايز أتعلم إسباني السنة دي). أما study فبنستخدمها لما بنتكلم عن الدراسة في مكان منظّم زي المدرسة أو الكورس: "She studies English at school" (هي بتدرس إنجليزي في المدرسة). الخلاصة: إنت ممكن تتعلم أي كلمة جديدة لوحدك، لكن عادة بتدرس مادة كاملة زي الإنجليزي أو الرياضيات.

الأفعال التانية: speak, practice, improve

  • speak معناها "يتكلم" وبنستخدمها مع اللغات: "He speaks three languages" (هو بيتكلم تلات لغات).
  • practice يعني "يمارس" أو "يتدرّب"، والتكرار هو السر: "I practice speaking every morning" (بمارس الكلام كل الصبح).
  • improve يعني "يحسّن" أو "يطوّر": "Reading helps you improve your vocabulary" (القراءة بتساعدك تحسّن مفرداتك).

أسماء وصفات مهمة

  • fluent (صفة) - يعني "طلِق" أو "بليغ": "She is fluent in French" (هي طليقة في الفرنساوي).
  • pronunciation (اسم) - طريقة نطقك للكلمات: "His pronunciation is very clear" (نطقه واضح جداً).
  • vocabulary (اسم) - المفردات اللي إنت عارفها: "I write new vocabulary in a notebook" (بكتب المفردات الجديدة في نوتة).

نصيحة للحفظ

لما تسمع أو تقرأ أي جملة عن تعلّم الإنجليزي، ركّز وابحث عن الكلمات دي: learn, study, speak, practice, improve. هتلاقيها بتتكرر في كل حتة. جرّب تقول جملة عن نفسك، مثلاً: "I study English every day and I want to improve my pronunciation to become fluent".
