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 use Do when the subject is I, you, we or they.

Affirmative: He speaks Spanish.

Question: Does he speak Spanish?

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 DON'T use Do or Does in questions that have the verb To Be or Modal Verbs (can, must, might, should etc.) 

Word order of Questions with Do and Does

Do/Does

Subject

Verb*

The rest of the sentence

I / you / we / they

have / buy
eat / like etc.

Does

Examples of Questions and answers with Do and Does:

Does Kathy speak Spanish? Yes, she does. No, she doesn’t.

Do we have time for a quick rematch? Yes, we have. No, we don’t.

Does it rain a lot in Mumbai? Yes, it does. No, it doesn’t.

Do they want to come with me? Yes, they do. No, they don’t.

Does he like brown rice? Yes, he does. No, he doesn’t.
