Words like everyday, never, always, every Wednesday  tell you it is about a routine. It happens often.

If there are no signal words, the sentence tells you a fact.

Questions

To make a present simple question, you have to put the verb do in front of the sentence:

 I like ice cream.     becomes      Do I like ice cream?

If the subject is a he, she or it, you have to use does. Also, look at what happens with the +s of the original verb.

Bob plays football.   becomes   Does Bob play football?

The verb 'to be' is a special one. 

If the first verb in the sentence is am, is, or are, you switch it with the subject.

'Is' switched places with the subject. In these cases, you don't use 'do' or 'doesn't'.
