do = Hilfsverb, das die Frageform stützt; die Bedeutung kommt von understand
Lernende lassen das Hilfsverb do in Fragen und Verneinungen oft weg, verwechseln be und have oder ordnen mehrere Hilfsverben falsch an.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
