\nB: I work in a bookshop.
\nA: Do you enjoy it?
\nB: It’s ok!
\nA: And your husband, what does he do?
\nB: He is a teacher!
\nA: Oh nice, what does he teach?
\nB: Science!
\nA: Does he like it?
\nB: He loves it!<\/em>\u200d<\/p>\n\u200dVocabulary Expansion:<\/strong>\u200d<\/h4>\n
\nWhen you want to talk about routine, things that happen every day, every week, every month or things that are true all the time (like your job!), you use what is called the \u201cpresent simple\u201d! To ask questions in the present simple, you just need to add \u201cdo\u201d before the subject in the sentence, it\u2019s quite simple, take a look at some examples:<\/p>\n
\nDo they like pizza?
\nDo we need to study?<\/p>\n
\nDoes he like pizza?
\nDoes she need to study?<\/p>\n
\nThis is the most common way of asking what a person\u2019s job is, but it\u2019s not the only one! Check out these sentences that ask the same thing:<\/p>\n
\nWhat do you do for a living?
\nWhat do you work with?
\nWhat is your field of work?
\nWhat do you do for work?<\/p>\n
\nAs you heard in the dialogue, you can use simple, short sentences to talk about your job, but it is important to remember that we use \u201ca\u201d or \u201can\u201d before the profession in the sentence. Let\u2019s take a look at some examples:<\/p>\n
\nI am a salesperson.
\nShe is an engineer.
\nHe is a pharmacist.
\nI am a dentist.<\/p>\n
