do-supportquestions

I have two sentences. I would like to know which one is correct.
Please help me to understand.

"Is the apartment is still available to rent?"
"Does the apartment is still available to rent?"

Best Answer

You cannot use "do" as a question word with "is". "Do" means to act. The word "do" is used in questions to ask whether the action is being performed or not. While "is" is a verb, it does not describe an action.

To form a question with "is", start with the statement:

The apartment is still available to rent.

Now instead of adding "does" as a question word, move "is" to the beginning:

Is the apartment still available to rent?
