Please tell me what is the correct sentense??
1) 'Why I can't see you in chat list?' OR 'Why can't I see you in chat list?'
2) 'Did you absent last week?' OR 'Were you absent last week?'
3) 'He would be/will be at office now.' AND 'He may be/might be at office now.' --> What is the difference in these 4 italic phrases??

Thanks..
But why we can't say here,
"Did you absent last week?" Why it is wrong??
And also I want to know,
"Why you don't call me?" OR "Why don't you call me?"
"What WERE or ARE the home works AT or IN the class last day?"

dilshi"Did you absent last week?" Why it is wrong??Questions beginning with auxiliary verbs like do, can, and would must be followed by a main verb, e.g., Did you see that? Absent is an adjective, so you must use were for the sentence to be grammatical.

Thanks now I got the point..
Then what about,
"Why you don't call me?" OR "Why don't you call me?"
"What WERE or ARE the home works AT or IN the class last day?"
Then what about,
"Why you don't call me?" OR "Why don't you call me?"
"What WERE or ARE the home works AT or IN the class last day?"

Oh, I forgot about those.
Why don’t you call me?
Can you tell me why you don’t call me? (noun clause as the direct object of me)
dilshi"Why you don't call me?" OR "Why don't you call me?"The second is the correct word order. The first would work as a noun clause but not as a question.
