Write 10 sentences about what you do every week in the At home-WIKI. If you need more words, look them up in the dictionary or use the internet to translate.

Schreibe 10 Sätze darüber, was du jede Woche machst ins At home-WIKI. Wenn du mehr Vokabeln benötigst, schaue im Wörterbuch oder benutze das Internet für die Übersetzung.

If you want to to say that somebody does not do something, you must use "to do":
Wenn du sagen möchtest, das jemand etwas nicht tut, dann musst du "to do" verwenden:

positive statement:	They	go	to town.
negative statement:	They	don't go	to town.

^{("don't" is short for "do not")}

3rd person singular:

positive statement:	She	goes	to town.
negative statement:	She	doesn't go	to town.

^{("doesn't" is short for "does not")}

In English you always need an auxiliary verb for the "not". Never add the "not" to the main verb!
Im Englischen braucht man immer ein Hilfsverb für die Verneinung. Du darfst nie das "not" an das Hauptverb hängen!

There are two different kinds of questions:
Es gibt zwei verschiedene Fragearten:

1. yes-no questions:

You ask a question with Do or Does at the beginning of the sentence and the main verb after the subject:

Does Akira like homework? - Yes, he does. / No, he doesn't.

Do the children meet in the park? - Yes, they do. / No, they don't.

You can only answer yes or no. The answers are "short answers". Here you only need the auxiliary verb.
Du kannst nur mit Ja oder Nein antworten. Die Antworten sind "Kurzantworten". Du brauchst nur das Hilfsverb.

2. Wh-questions:

For more information you put a wh-question-word (where, when, who, what or why) at the beginning of the question:
