In negative sentences, the auxiliary verbs “do” and “can” in “I don’t go to any clubs” and “I can’t speak German” go before the main verbs “go” and “speak”. Those same auxiliary verbs are also used at the beginning of questions like “Can you whistle?” and “Do you eat cereal for breakfast?”. The same is obviously true for Wh- questions like “What do you do after breakfast” and “What languages can you speak?”. They are also used for the responses to these questions such as “Yes, I do" and “No, I can’t”.
En les negatives, els verbs auxiliars "do" i "can" en "no puc parlar alemany", per exemple van abans que els verbs principals "go" i "speak". També, aquests mateixos verbs auxiliars s'usen a el principi de preguntes com "Pots xiular?" i "Menges cereal per esmorzar?". El mateix és òbviament cert per Wh- preguntes com "Què fas després de l'esmorzar" i "Quins idiomes pots parlar?". També s'utilitzen per a les respostes a aquestes preguntes com "Sí, jo faig" i "No, no puc".
