--description--

When elaborating questions about a third person singular (he, she or it) you might need to use the auxiliary verb does .

For example: If Alice is curious about Sophie's hobbies and wants to ask Tom, she can say, Does Sophie like hiking? The word does is used here because the subject is Sophie, a third person singular. Does is used to form questions in the present simple tense for he, she, or it.

--questions--

--text--

Does Tom have a favorite photography theme?

--answers--

Yes, he does.

---

No, he doesn't.

--feedback--

The dialogue indicates Tom does have favorite themes.

---

Yes, he do.

--feedback--

Yes, he do is incorrect; it should be Yes, he does.

---

No, does he?

--feedback--

No, does he? is not a statement but a question, and it implies doubt or surprise, not affirmation.
