Do you

What do you call X? Call in the sense of identifying someone or something by a name or term is a complex transitive verb, in that it requires both a direct object and an object complement to communicate the meaning. While talking on the phone app, you can select the keypad. How do you switch from numbers to letters on the keypad. Try a forced restart of your device using these instructions: Put it on charge for at least half an hour, then, keeping it plugged in, use these gestures: In rapid sequence, press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side (power) button. Only when the Apple logo appears (it might take 10-20 seconds), release that. The meaning is identical though. 1) Where are you from? implies that you want to know what city/state/country they consider home, and that you assume it's someplace other than where you are right now. This may be confusing, since where someone is from isn't necessarily where they live. Apparently, both are: if you don’t mind my saying so/if you don’t mind me asking used when you are saying or asking something that you think might offend someone: You’re looking tired, if you don’t mind my saying so. How old are you, if you don’t mind me asking? You may feel insulted if someone responds to How do you do? by repeating it back, but historically the expression was a set greeting equivalent to pleased to meet you and/or good morning , and the other person may feel that they are insulting you if they don't repeat it back. 2) Do you know what it is? I kinda do a Google research on this and basically most people say it should be the first one but unfortunately the correct one is the second one. Indeed, Do you have a time? is not generally a standalone question. That said, the phrase do you have a time could be used in a few contexts. For example: Do you have a time when you want to meet? or, Do you have a time when you check ELL every day? The basic declarative word order looks like this: You do not think it has made our lives better. We can turn this into a question by inverting the subject you with the auxiliary do: Do you not think it has made our lives better? But not doesn't move before the subject. It's a separate word and is unaffected by subject–auxiliary inversion. How do you do everything, with your demanding job, and all those other commitments? How do you do not followed by anything is now strictly an idiom (or a canned phrase , if you will) which is used only in formal introductions, and is not equivalent to how are you.
