[quoi_de_neuf?]

Hi,

I'm a newbie and am having problems teaching "do" in questions ("What do you do?" -I'm a teacher / student..., "Do you like your job?" -Yes, I love my job because...)

Students are having problems because they want to translate the sentences into their language (French), but this doesn't work as 'do' is an auxiliary verb which doesn't exist in French - it only exists as "faire". Therefore, they aren't getting to grips with the meaning and use of "do" in questions.

Anyone have any suggestions on lesson ideas / activities / exercises etc that I can use to cover this point? The context is jobs and employment.

All opinions welcome!

Thanks in advance,
