Techniques to teach "do and does" to young learners.
 
Hello, I �m asking again how do you teach "do" and "does" to young learners. How do they recognise them?

Hi Neda... the matter you �re asking again is so simple that I bet many people are thinking: "how can a teacher not know how to do that"? I can tell you, I was.
But let me try to help.

There �s nothing to "recognize". Latin languages like Spanish and Portuguese do not use auxiliaries like English uses. They �ll never �understand � the use if you try to compare with Spanish for them to "recognize".

you just need to help your students understand that English works in different ways and for the QUESTIONS AND NEGATIVES you NEED TO USE the auxiliaries DO and DOES for the action verbs in the Present Simple constructions. And of course, give them tons of examples and make them speak and practice. Eventually, they �ll learn how ENGLISH works, and will learn the language.

I guess that �s it. Of course, there are thousands of great wss on this topic that will certainly help you more than anything we tell you. You should take a look and download some to help you.

Take care,

Bruna
