在所学语言中
英语提问常需要改变词序:把助动词或情态动词放到主语前。一般现在或一般过去没有其他助动词时,常用 do/does/did;what、where 等疑问词通常放在句首,也可以用升调表示确认。
Do you like coffee?
Do + you + like...?:助动词 do 放在主语 you 前,形成疑问框架。
学习者可能直接用陈述句词序来提问,或忘记使用 do/does/did。
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
