Do Does Did Do and Does both are present tense helping verb, and did is the past tense of do and does. For 3rd person singular only does is usable, for all other persons do is usable.

Persons 1st Person 2nd person 3rd person Sentences: I do you do

singular we do you do they do

The past form of Do and Does is Did, it is usable with the entire persons. Eg: I did, we did, you did, he/she/it did, they did.

It is easy to change the affirmative sentence into interrogative sentence if there is a presence of helping verb. Eg: I am working - affirmative sentence Action) Am I working? Action) (Person + Helping Verb + Present Continuous

- Interrogative sentence. (Helping Verb + Person + Present Continuous

In the above example only by placing the helping verb am at the beginning of the sentence the sentence has been changed to Interrogative sentence. But what if there is no helping verb and still want to change the sentence into interrogative one? It is where, we use do as a helping verb; Eg: I know him affirmative sentence (Person + Main Verb + object)

Do I know him? Interrogative sentence (Helping Verb (do) + person + Main verb + object) In the above example there is no helping verb, so by adding do as a helping verb at the beginning of the sentence we made the sentence an interrogative one. We can also use do in affirmative sentences, it does nothing but emphasize the sentence. Eg: I know him = I do know him In the above example both the sentences have the same meaning. But in the sentence I do know him we are highlighting that we know thats it.

I love you = I do love you Here we are expressing our love in a highlighted way. In simple it could be said as formal and standard English. Sentences Affirmative Sentences I love you You come late
Interrogative Sentences Do I love you? Do you come late? Negative Sentences I dont love you? You dont come late?

Have "Have" and "has" are both present tense conjugations of the verb "to have," and we use "have" or "has" depending on the subject.

If the subject is 3rd person, singular, then you use "has." All other subjects take on "have". See below: Singular 1st Person 2nd Person 3rd Person Ex. She has a doctor's appointment tomorrow. They have a long day ahead of them. My dog has a good temperament. We both have an iPhone. My sister has a hybrid car. Remember that the verb "to have" serves two purposes in the English language: Main Verb: Of course, as you know, the verb "to have" is used to express possession, as in the examples above and as in "I have a dog, a house and a beautiful family." Helping Verb: "Have" is also used as an auxiliary (or helping) verb when using the present perfect. Present Perfect Grammar: When using the present perfect, we conjugate the verb "to have" in the same way as the present tense as seen above; that is, the 3rd person singular changes to "has." I/You/We/They + HAVE + past participle He/She/It Ex. I have traveled to Paris three times. He has never seen a James Bond movie! They have taken the test. She has tried to help. + HAS + past participle
Have and has in these examples serving as a main verb, where they are expressing possession

Plural we have You have They have

I have You have He/She/It has

We have just finished writing the report. My dog has already gone for a walk four times today. They have taken the test. She has tried to help.

Interrogative Sentences of Present Perfect: Have/Has + Person + Past Participle Verb + Object + ? Have you asked him to come? Has she brought the new car to office? Have you forgotten Anil? Has she never allowed you to write exams?

Negative Sentences of Present Perfect: You havent called me yesterday She hasnt come to college today They havent won the match The dog hasnt bitten the girl

Present Perfect Continuous


Present Perfect Continuous shows the actions which have started in the past and continuing up until now and which has current relevance. It is used to express a continued or ongoing action that started in past and is continued until now. There will be a time reference, such as since 1980, for three hours etc from which the action has been started. A sense of time reference is found in these sentences which gives an idea that action has been continued from some time in past till now. Such time reference or sense of time reference is the identity of Present perfect continuous tense because it tells that action has started from a particular time in past. For example, He has been reading in this school since 2005, so the it means that he has started his education in this school in 2005 and he is studying in this school till now. Rules:

Since or for is used before the time reference in sentence. If the time reference is exactly known such as 1995, 4 Oclock then since is used before the time in sentence. If the time reference is not exactly known such as three hours, six years, four days, then for is used before the time in sentence. Time reference such as 3 hours or 5 days is not exactly known because we dont know that about which three hours a day is told in sentence or about whi ch 5 days in a month is told in sentence. While the 1995 is exactly known time.
for a period of time since a point in past time x 20 minutes three days 6 months 4 years 2 centuries a long time ever etc 6.15pm Monday January 1994 1800 I left school the beginning of time etc

Note: If there is not time reference or sense of time reference then it is not Present perfect continuous tense because there is no hint about the time of action when it started in past and it seems just an ongoing action at present time which resembles present Continuous tense. So the reference of time differentiates between Present perfect continuous tense and Present continuous tense. Usage pattern: This tense could be shown as: I/we/you/they + have + been + Present Continuous (V1 + Ing) He/She/It + has + been + Present Continuous (V1 + ing) Eg: I have been working here for 2 years

We have been watching the movies since afternoon You have listening music for 2 hours She has been writing her novel since July 2013. The dog has been eating his food for 15 minutes.

I You It We Have Have auxiliary verb have have has have you they not not auxiliary verb been been been been been been main verb waiting talking raining. playing seeing doing football. her? their homework? for one hour. too much.

Contractions When have you been travel to Paris?
