The formula for asking a question in the simple present is do/does + [subject] + [root form of verb].
Ex: Do you know how to bake a pie? How much does Pauline love pie?

# data[].attributes.body
The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly (or unceasingly, which is why it’s sometimes called present indefinite). Depending on the person, the simple present tense is formed by using the root form or by adding ‑s or ‑es to the end.

Ex: I feel great! Pauline loves pie. I’m sorry to hear that you’re sick.

The other is to talk about habitual actions or occurrences.

ExPauline practices the piano every day. Ms. Jackson travels during the summer. Hamsters run all night.

Typically, when we want to describe a temporary action that is currently in progress, we use the present continuous: Pauline can’t come to the phone right now because she is brushing her teeth.

How to form the simple present

In the simple present, most regular verbs use the root form, except in the third-person singular (which ends in s).

For a few verbs, the third-person singular ends with es instead of s. Typically, these are verbs whose root form ends in o, ch, sh, th, ss, gh, or z.

For most regular verbs, you put the negation of the verb before the verb, e.g., "She won't go" or "I don't smell anything."
