Grammar Points 语法提要：
1.“主谓宾（状）”的句子改成疑问句，就要使用助动词do，does（主语是单三人称时）或did（过去时态）。
陈述句：David lives with his classmates at school.
疑问句：Does David live with his classmates at school？
2.I have，you have，he has跟“there be”句型不同，前者表示所属“关系，后者表示”存在有“而已。I have，she has的句子变成疑问句，只需把have，has提到句子的主语前面就可以了。但在美国也常用“do you have…？”，“does she have…？”来代替“have you”，“has she”。

我喜欢吃蔬菜，像番茄、菠菜（spinach）、包菜和萝卜（turnip）。蔬菜能够健身，也能有助于减肥，但是，你不能依赖（only live on）于蔬菜。你也要吃点鸡蛋、肉类和鱼类，要不然（or），你就不能健身，你就会生病。你应该把蔬菜、肉类和鱼类一起吃，这样才对你的身体有益（to be good to your health）。
