Hello there Moram and Theodore,
Thanks very much for your questions.
@Moran - The word 'are' is used here to indicate the speaker asking a person. When you are talking to a person, and when you are talking about other people or things, you use 'are.'
We use 'do' in a question when we want to ask yes/no questions and with other personal pronouns (you, we they) and with plural noun forms. I realise this can get a bit tricky but I hope this makes sense to you.
@Theodore - We use a plural when asking for 'times' available here because we are assuming there will be a number of times to choose from.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Cheers,
Eva

Hi,
I don't understand why you use ARE in this sentence- "What time are you open until on weekdays?" and DO in this sentence "What time do you open in the morning?". it's looks like the same tense.
Thank you,
Moran
Why do we use pl. of time in "What times are available for the health checkup" but the sing of that in "What time are you open until on weekdays"? Thank you.
Hello David,
Thank you for posting.
Let us know if you have any questions.
No you will want to word it like this: we're full every morning next week.

I check with internet. "all morning" means "throughout the whole of the morning". This explanation together with your reply, now, I understand, why it is not "all mornings". Thanks.
But on the other hand, one week has 7 mornings, thus all mornings refers to each morning in the week, then, can we say, "we are full all mornings next week"? Thanks again.
Hello David,
Thank you for posting.
No adding an "S" would ruin the sentence structure. It's correct as is.
Let us know if you have any questions.

Should we add a "s" to the word, morning, for the phrase - "Next week we're full all morning during the week"? Thanks.
