Which one is correct:
Where are you come from?
or
Where do you come from?
As we know, the first question is grammatically incorrect, but my supervisor in Egypt insists that it's right! Could you please give me the right answer and explain why it's the right answer?
Best Answer
The interrogative form of verbs in the present simple is formed with DO, not BE. "Where do you come from?" is therefore correct; "Where are you come from?" is not correct.
When BE is functioning as a main verb, DO is not used as an auxiliary for the interrogative: "Where are you from?"
When BE (or any other verb) is functioning as an auxiliary, the interrogative is formed by subject-verb inversion: "Where are you coming from?"
