Answering Do and Does questions

To make a question in English we normally use Do or Does. It is normally put at the beginning of the question (before the subject).

Affirmative: You speak Spanish.
Question: Do you speak Spanish?

You will see that we add DO at the beginning of the affirmative sentence to make it a question. We useDo when the subject is I, you, we or they.

Affirmative: He speaks Spanish.
Question: Does he speak Spanish?
Yes, he does!😁
No, he doesn't yet. But he keeps trying.

When the subject is he, she or it, we add DOES at the beginning to make the affirmative sentence a question. Notice that the letter S at the end of the verb in the affirmative sentence (because it is in third person) disappears in the question. We will see the reason why below.
