I have another question...

If i want to write a question.,What should I write?

Are/Is alien(s) really exist (or write an adjective?)?

Also...

What is the difference of using Do/Does and Is/Are be the question beginning?

Thanks.

Hi,

Statement: Aliens really exist.

Question: Do aliens really exist?

I'll try to explain when to use DO/DOES and BE (is/are) in asking questions in a very simple way.

We use DO/DOES if the sentence doesn't have a helping verb (HV) i.e.

"The dog barks everynight" DOES the dog bark everynight?

"My parents like to watch cartoons." DO my parents like to watch cartoons?

While BE (is/are) is used when helping verb (is,are,will,would,should,can) is present in the sentence. i.e.

She is a teacher. Is she a teacher?

They will visit us. Will they visit us?
My brothers are playing soccer. Are my brothers playing soccer?

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
