So, what are you confused about?Okay,thank you for your reply my teacher,but I am still confused.
ALL verbs in English in (except those I note below) form questions with DO in non-progressive, non-perfect forms:
do I work?.......did he work?
ALL verbs used as auxiliaries form questions without DO:
are you coming? .......has she left?.......can you swim?
BE, whether it is used as a main verb or as an auxiliary, never forms questions with DO:
are you English? ...... is she working?.......was the meeting postponed?
HAVE, as a full verb, can be used in a question form with or without DO:
have you? mainly BrE, fairly formal and old-fashioned.
do you have? mainly AmE when HAVE has an association with 'possession'; correct in both AmE and BrE when HAVE means 'experience/take/etc'.
