With Other Verbs
When a sentence has no auxiliary or be verb,a different condition Obtains. Notice that we cannot simply invert the subject and the verb as we did with the be verb to form a grammatical question:
Arlene plays the organ on Sunday.
*Plays Arlene the organ on Sunday?
Although, as we have already noted, such forms were acceptable in historically earlier forms of English, and their equivalents are grammatical in certain languages today, such as the German and Scandinavian languages, main verb inversion with the subject is not grammatical in modern English.
Once again we can point to the parallelism between negation and Yes/No questions formation. Recall that to make a sentence negative when it has no auxiliary verb or be verb, the verb do is introduced as an operator, We can invoke the same rule-namely, operator addition-to introduced the do to function as an operator in Yes/No questions for which there is no auxiliary verb or be copula verb to perform this function.
