Inquires about others’ opinions (e.g. What do you think? What’s your opinion? What does he think?)
1.2
Uses expressions of time frequently encountered in class (e.g. five minutes, in September, next summer)

Key ideas

  1. New here — you meet this with support and copy it first; independent use comes later (A2).

  2. Turn a statement into a question about someone else with do-support + the right pronoun: 'Do they like…?', 'What does she think?'.
