Simple present tense

Question

Thanks

Can we say

Do you go now?

Do you go today / are you going today do mean thr same and which is native english speakers' choice

Answer 1

Are you going today? or Are you going now? is the best choice.

Do you go today? is not often used in American English and can sound a bit awkward. This is because a typical response would be, "Yes, I am going today," using a conjugation of 'to be,' not 'to do.'

However, other verbs can use 'to do' and 'to be.'

Ex.

Are you leaving today? and Do you leave today? are both correct.

BUT, if the time is now and not today , use Are you... . It will be less awkward.

Ex.

Are you leaving now? is a better choice than Do you leave now?
