A: How often .................... to the cinema?B: About once a month....
How often do you go to the cinema?
B: About once a month
Let's analyze the possible answers
1. Do you going , it is not possible since go cannot go with "ing" since it is in the present simple, in addition, the auxiliary does not agree with the conjugation of the verb.
2. Do you go , normally when we use often we use present simple, since it is common in the present to indicate that.
3. Are you going , it is not possible because of the location of the verb to be and the sentence itself, since it would normally come after the verb to be, but if it is a question, it would go after the subject.
4. Are you go , it is not possible grammatically by the conjugation of the verb, this would have to be in the form of "ing".

Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'A': "do you go".
To understand why this is the correct answer, let's analyze the sentence and the different options:
a) do you go: This is the correct answer. The sentence is asking about the frequency of going to the cinema, so we use the present simple tense with the auxiliary verb "do". The question form requires the subject "you" followed by the auxiliary verb "do" and the main verb "go". This option follows this structure correctly.
b) are you going: This option uses the present continuous tense, which is used to talk about actions happening at the moment of speaking or in the near future. However, the question is asking about the frequency of going to the cinema, not about a specific instance or plan. Therefore, this option is not appropriate.
c) are you going: This is the same as option 'b', so the explanation is the same.
d) do you going: This option is incorrect because the verb "do" is used as an auxiliary verb and should be followed by the base form of the verb, which is "go" in this case. The correct form is "do you go".
In conclusion, the correct answer is option 'A': "do you go". This option correctly uses the present simple tense and follows the question structure to inquire about the frequency of going to the cinema.
