В английском языке существуют так называемые "сильные глаголы" и "слабые".
К сильным можно отнести глагол to be have got, has got, модальные глаголы: must, may, can, would и некоторые другие. Эти глаголы образуют отрицания и вопросы без вс глаголов.
Все остальные глаголы - "слабые" - у них нет "сил", чтобы образовать отрицания и вопросы. Поэтому в Present Simple - настоящем простом времени мы в отрицании после подлежащего ставим does not (если подлежащее стоит в 3 лице ед. ч.) или do not (во всех остальных случаях).
И в вопросе перед подлежащим ставим does (если подлежащее стоит в 3 лице ед. ч.) или do (во всех остальных случаях).
