Hi, Melanie
Today en my English class, We are studying, how to use de auxiliar “Do” , and the teacher ask us to give some examples, using “Do” in questions. My example was: ” What do you like to wear for the party?”, and the teacher told me that my question was incorrect because the correct for this question is “dress” instead of wear. So , please help me..! Thank you.
You are correct, Miguel!
Your sentence should be:
“What do you want to wear to the party?” (a specific party)
-or-
“What do you like to wear to parties?” (in general)
Wear is the correct verb, because you are talking about the clothes that you will have on your body when you arrive at the party.
Good luck!
