<!-- (audio) Tom: How about you? Do you have any hobbies? -->

--description--

So far you have learned how to create questions with the verb to be. In sentences with the verb to be (am, is, are) you just have to change the order of the noun and the verb to create a question. Like this:

AffirmativeInterrogative
You are a developer.Are you a developer?

Changing the order of the noun and the verb doesn't work in every situation. Most sentences need you to add an auxiliary verb to create questions. One of the most common auxiliary verbs is do.

You can use the verb do as an auxiliary to most verbs. In the present tense it assumes the form of do (for I, you, we, they) and does (for he, she, it). It is like a marker you will add to the beginning of your sentence; this will let everyone know that sentence is a question. For example:

AffirmativeInterrogative
You debug on Fridays.Do you debug on Fridays?

--instructions--

Listen to the audio and complete the sentence below.
