I am really confused with the usage of Do & Does and Are & Is in asking questions. Like
1, Are England ready for Australia? (Cricket match) I read it in newspaper but as far as I have learned Are, Is & Am are used in present continuous tense i.e. They are playing cricket. But in the above sentence there is no present participle
yet they used "Are" as helping verb. I think the sentence should have been as follows
2, Do England ready for Australia? (because do, does are used in present simple i.e. Do you play cricket?
Question: In reference to the above sentence how will I come to know to use Are, Is and Do, Does? Using Are, Is require present participle but there is no present participle in sentence # 01.
