--description--

So far you have learned how to create questions with the verb to be. In sentences with the verb to be (am, is, are) you just have to change the order of the noun and the verb to create a question. Like this:

Affirmative Interrogative
You are a developer. Are you a developer?

Changing the order of the noun and the verb doesn't work in every situation. Most sentences need you to add an auxiliary verb to create questions. One of the most common auxiliary verbs is do.

You can use the verb do as an auxiliary to most verbs. In the present tense it assumes the form of do (I, you, we, they) and does (he, she, it). It is like a marker you will add to the beginning of your sentence and lets everyone know that sentence is a question. For example:

Affirmative Interrogative
You debug on Fridays. Do you debug on Fridays?

Do

To form a question, we use the auxiliary verb do before the subject, followed by the base form of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is have, which becomes do have in the question.


have
