Is enough. Are not, so they're not after the verb and this is the short form. To make the interrogative, the only thing that we do is get our verb and place it before the subject. 19 00:02:04,780 --> 00:02:22,620 So, are they very good friends? You see? The verb before the subject. And that's it. 20 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,659 Now, let's do it with verbs that are not the verb to be. 21 00:02:28,659 --> 00:02:42,180 So, for example, they, well, we are going to do it with another one, he cooks very well. 22 00:02:43,219 --> 00:02:46,300 Yes, here we have cooks. 23 00:02:48,460 --> 00:02:59,250 Cooks is the present simple of the verb to cook. 24 00:02:59,250 --> 00:03:09,030 and with all the verbs that are not the verb to be we need to call the auxiliary verb 25 00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:21,900 do and now we can do it okay so let's go he cooks very well we want to make the negative 26 00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:40,210 Okay, he, we use our auxiliary verb do, okay, as it's third person singular because of the years, does, he does not cook very well. 27 00:03:40,210 --> 00:03:43,310 okay the short form of 28 00:03:43,310 --> 00:03:47,370 does not is doesn't 29 00:03:47,370 --> 00:03:54,599 cook very well 30 00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:59,020 and now to do the negative we continue 31 00:03:59,020 --> 00:04:02,719 to need the auxiliary verb do 32 00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:05,759 so we begin with our auxiliary verb 33 00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:09,580 does because it's third person singular 34 00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:12,740 our subject he 35 00:04:12,740 --> 00:04:16,279 cook without the s 36 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,240 because we already know the present by does. Does he cook 37 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:25,660 very well? 38 00:04:25,660 --> 00:04:29,500 And that's our sentence in the 39 00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:35,399 interrogative. This is for the present simple. 40 00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:39,500 Now let's go for the present continuous. 41 00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:43,040 But the present continuous? It's easy, no? 42 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:50,019 Because in the present continuous, we already have two verbs to make it, and one of them is the verb to be. 43 00:04:50,019 --> 00:05:00,839 So, an example will be, they are playing chess. 44 00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:02,079 Yes? 45 00:05:02,459 --> 00:05:05,360 This is our verb, are playing. 46 00:05:07,259 --> 00:05:07,660 Okay? 47 00:05:07,660 --> 00:05:18,199 So this is our playing is the present continuous of the verb to play. 48 00:05:18,459 --> 00:05:26,980 Because if we remember to make present continuous, we need the verb to be and the main verb finishing in ing. 49 00:05:27,779 --> 00:05:33,100 So here we have the verb to be always in present continuous forms. 50 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,980 So it's very easy. 51 00:05:34,980 --> 00:05:50,939 We just put not after the verb to be, they are not playing, in the short form aren't playing chess. 52 00:05:52,939 --> 00:05:54,540 Okay? Pretty easy. 53 00:05:57,220 --> 00:06:01,000 And I don't know why the word chess hasn't been written. 54 00:06:02,819 --> 00:06:03,459 There you are. 55 00:06:03,459 --> 00:06:17,449 Now, for the question form, we take our verb to be and place it before the subject. 56 00:06:18,449 --> 00:06:23,569 Are they playing chess? 57 00:06:24,930 --> 00:06:30,990 You see the verb to be at the beginning that we had in our affirmative. 58 00:06:31,889 --> 00:06:33,490 Then, playing. 59 00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:38,519 So, that's all.
