First things first , English is not my Native Language / Mother tongue .
I am a game developer . So when a player presses exit button a message pops up and asks whether they want to quit the game or not .
So which is the better way to ask , 'Are you really want to quit this game ?' -- OR -- 'Do you really want to quit this game ?' .
Hope you will help me to figure it out .
Regards , NB :)
Are you really want to quit
Only correct if it means: is your name/title "want to quit"?
Probably not what you mean.
Are you really wanting to quit
Technically correct but not idiomatic. It's rather awkward. But the tenses agree.
Do you really want to quit?
Is idiomatic and natural.
