Grammar Focus 文法重點
Do / Does — Future DreamsDo / Does — Asking About Future Dreams
Use an before vowel sounds: an engineer, an artist.
Use a before consonant sounds: a singer, a doctor, a police officer.
Common Mistake — Does she wants? ✗
When Does is the helper verb, the main verb stays base form:
Does she wants to be a singer?
Does she want to be a singer? — "Does" already carries the -s; the main verb stays base form.

Question 1 / 10
Which career means 消防員?
Correct. Firefighter = 消防員. "Reporter" = 記者, "police officer" = 警察, "engineer" = 工程師.
The answer is (B) firefighter = 消防員. "Police officer" = 警察.
Question 2 / 10
A: What she want to be? B: She wants to be a doctor.
Correct. "She" is singular → use does. "Do" is for I / you / we / they.
"She" is singular → the helper verb is does. "Do" is for plural/I/you. "Is / are" are be verbs, not used here.
Question 3 / 10
Which sentence is correct? 哪個句子正確？
Correct. (A) is right: "I want to be an engineer." "Engineer" starts with a vowel sound → use "an".
(A) is correct. (B) uses "a" before a vowel — wrong. (C) "I" doesn't add -s to the verb. (D) is missing the article.
Question 4 / 10
Does Mike want to be a baseball player? Yes, he .
Correct. The question uses "Does" → short answer is Yes, he does. Match the helper verb.
The question starts with "Does" → echo it in the answer: Yes, he does. "Do" is for plural subjects.
Question 5 / 10
Do you want to be a scientist? No, I .
Correct. "Do you…?" → negative answer: No, I don't. "Doesn't" is for he / she / it.
"Do you…?" → No, I don't. "Doesn't" goes with he / she / it. "Isn't / am not" are be verbs, not used here.
Question 6 / 10
She to be a reporter.
Correct. "She" is singular → wants. In statements (not questions), the main verb adds -s for he / she / it.
"She" + statement → wants (add -s). "Want" is for I / you / we / they. "Is wanting" is progressive tense, unusual here.
Question 7 / 10
Which is correct? 哪個正確？ "I want to be ___ artist."
Correct. "Artist" starts with a vowel sound → use an. Same rule: an engineer, an actor.
"Artist" starts with the vowel "a" → use an. Rule: use "an" before vowel sounds (a, e, i, o, u).
Question 8 / 10
Which sentence has an error? 哪個句子有錯誤？
Correct. (C) has an error: when "Does" is the helper verb, the main verb stays base form → Does he want (not "wants") to be a singer?
The error is in (C). "Does" already carries -s, so the main verb must be base form: Does he want to be a singer?
Question 9 / 10
A: Does she want to be a YouTuber? B: No, she ___. She wants to be a scientist.
Correct. "Does she…?" → negative answer: No, she doesn't. "Don't" is for I / you / we / they.
"Does she…?" → No, she doesn't. "Don't" goes with I / you / we / they. "Isn't / weren't" are be verbs.
Question 10 / 10
Which word needs "an" before it? 哪個字前面要用 "an"？
Correct. "Engineer" starts with a vowel sound → an engineer. "Singer, doctor, reporter" all start with consonant sounds → use "a".
"Engineer" starts with the vowel sound /ɛ/ → an engineer. "Singer / doctor / reporter" start with consonants → use "a".
