Why Save Water

Present Simple: Yes / No questions


Ex. 1 Red the text and answer the questions below as in the example.

How does rain form?


We all know that rain water fills in all lakes, rivers, oceans, seas and streams. But the question is, what causes
rain?
When the sun heats the water it changes into water vapor. Water vapor rises into the air. Then it cools and forms
small water droplets. These water droplets form clouds. Inside the cloud the smaller water droplets join to form
bigger water drops. Finally, these big drops become so heavy that clouds cannot hold them. These water drops
fall as rain, and we get rainfall. This rain fills in all the lakes, rivers, oceans, seas and streams again. This is not
the end! The cycle continues. The sun heats the water again. Then it again changes into water vapor. When it
rises into the air it cools and forms small droplets. We get clouds again, and then the heavy drops fall down as
rain. This fascinating process is called the water cycle.

1. Does the sun heat water? Yes, it does.


2. Does the water form clouds? ……………….
3. Do smaller water droplets join to make bigger drops? ……………
4. Do those bigger drops become heavy? ………………..
5. Do the drops fall as vapor? ……………….
6. Does the rain fill in only the oceans? ………………
7. Do we call this process the water cycle? .......................
8. Does this process continue? …………………..

Another way to give this task:


Ex. 1 Choose DO or DOES. Then answer the questions.

1. Do/Does the sun heat water? Yes, it does.


2. Does/Do the water form clouds? ……………….
3. Do/Does smaller water droplets join to make bigger drops? ……………
4. Does/Do those bigger drops become heavy? ………………..
5. Do/Does the drops fall as vapor? ……………….
6. Does/Do the rain fill in only the oceans? ………………
7. Does/Do we call this process the water cycle? .......................
8. Do/Does this process continue? …………………..

Ex. 2 Write Yes/No questions


Example: you go swimming on Mondays?
Do you go swimming on Mondays?
1. you go fishing?
2. water clean you up?
3. he surf in the ocean?
4. water keep us cool?
5. water drops fall as rain?
6. liquid water cover all the world?
7. boats sail in rivers?

Ex. 3 Put the words in the correct order to make questions.


1. water ?/ do/ we/ need
2. does/ vapor ?/ water
3. he / does / go / fishing?
4. smaller / droplets / do /to /make /join / drops? / bigger
5. water / go up? / does / vapor
6. does / vapor / water/ up / cool / in / sky?/ the

Another way to do Ex.3

question with a capital letter!
