2. LET´S CHECK OUT THE SUBJECTS
PRONOUNS
 WHAT ARE THE SUBJECTS PRONOUNS?
Pronouns are small words that take the place of a noun. We can use a
pronoun instead of a noun. Pronouns are words like: I, he, you, she, it, we,
they... If we didn't have pronouns, we would have to repeat a lot of nouns.
We would have to say things like:
 Do you like the manager? I don't like the manager. The manager's not
friendly.
With pronouns, we can say:
 Do you like the manager? I don't like him. He's not friendly.

4. DO – DOES - DID
 Auxiliary (Helping) Verbs
Auxiliary means functioning in a supporting capacity, and that is exactly what
these auxiliary verbs do, which is why they are also known as helping verbs. They
are used together with a main verb to give grammatical information and
therefore add extra meaning to a sentence; information that is not given by the
main verb.
Examples:
Do you have a pencil?
Did they have a pencil?
Does he has a pencil?

5. The verb do is one of the most common verbs in
English. It can be used as an auxiliary and a main
verb. It is often used in questions.
 Base form = DO
 Present form = DO/DOES
 Past form = DID

8. EXAMPLES DO- DOES- DID
POSITIVE
Pete always does his taxes on time.
Volunteers do a lot of work around the town.
NEGATIVES
Your client doesn’t understand the contract
You don’t need to worry about me
