Do they

The answer in both instances is 'have'. It is ungrammatical to use 'has' in questions that begin with 'Do' or 'Does'. In these types of questions the verb 'do' is conjugated based on whether the noun is first, second or third person (eg Do I, Do you or , Does he). The 'have' part of the question is not conjugated and appears as the bare infinitive regardless of the person of the noun. Where did they go? Where do they went? Can you please advise which of above forms is correct? I'm pretty sure that first one is fine but wondering about second one. Can I use a second form as. However, isn't it wrong to use words like 'they' and 'them' for a single person? For example, when talking about such person, one has to say, They are walking down the road. which makes it plural. However, for a male/female pronoun, one can say, He/She is walking down the road. Are they? is the standard question form. In a question, we normally begin the sentence with an interrogative word like where or how , or is or are or do or does. They are? is an example of a declarative statement turned into a question by simply putting a question mark at the end. In speech, it is intoned as a question, i.e. you raise the pitch of your voice at the end of the. Normally you say: they do not: they does. But normally they is plural, not singular. What happens if they is singular? Can you use say they does like you'd say it does ? Between these two, Why do young people don't have good manners? Why do young people not have good manners? Which is correct? or both are correct? In your example sentences you use four finite verbs, do, play, like and have. Very simple sentences use only one verb, which by definition must be finite.: He has the bottle. They have the bottle For questions or special emphasis you use an auxiliary verb (- finite) together with a verb in the infinitive: He does play cricket. Do they like. 4 One entry of Merriam-Webster's definitions of 'follow-up' as an adjective is: done, conducted, or administered in the course of following up persons. Why do they use 'persons' rather than 'people' here? This appears quite outlandish to me, since the use of 'persons' is rather rare in my experience. The basic rule is that tag questions always negate the preceding assertion , but in this case, the underlying assertion (the possibility that the children have problems) is already effectively negated by hardly (implying either they don't really have problems, or their problems are too trivial to count). The first one is correct: It just seems that C++ developers usually don't follow this rule in case of pointers, do they? The rule is: do - don't they; don't - do they. So, you just always use the opposite form.
