Try forming a question to ask me, using the word : "do" or "does"

How to form a question:

In the present you place do or does 

at the front of the sentence followed by the verb:

I like English class -> Do you like English class?

In the past its almost the same 

using did followed by the verb:

She walked home -> did she walk home?

How to ask a question in English:

Using do/does: Do you like school/does he like pizza ?

Using "to be" : are you ok/ am I too late?

Using did: did you have a good time ?

When do you use "do"
and when do you use "does"
in a sentence or question?

1. do for I, does for you
2. does for I and you, do for he/she/it
