Do you have free time this weekend?
or
Do you have free time on the weekend?
Does she speak Chinese? (Note the capital letter.)
Are they going to the cinema? ('To do' is not the most natural verb to use.)
Is he /she watching a cartoon movie? ('it' doesn't make sense.)
Does he listen to music? (Is he listening to music? might be better, depending on whether you are asking about one time or about habit.)
Are we coming back home? ('To do' is not the natural verb to use.)

You have chosen the wrong verb or the wrong tense (or a combination of both) for some of your sentences.
Despite the advice in the English-test.net lessons about turning sentences into questions, 'to do' is not always the best verb to use. It is often better to use a form of 'to be'.
Also context such as a question about giving it a shot are unlikely to be asked in the simple present tense. They make more sense in the future tense.
I wouldn't worry too much about these mistakes. They are likely to occur where you are just making sentences up without any real context in which to base them.
Do you give it a shot? <-- Will you give it a shot? / Are you going to give it a shot?
Does he enrage you? <-- correct
Does she like chocolate? <-- correct
Do we know about our learning outcome? <-- Do we know what our learning outcome is? / What is our learning outcome?
Do they outdo each other? <-- Are they trying to outdo each other? Did they try to outdo each other? (They cannot both outdo the other - only one can actually do so, which is the reason I have used 'try/trying')

Hi Torsten,
I'm confused, what will suit best for this sentence. Do/Would (Do you like tea or coffee? /Would you like tea or coffee). We use Do for simple tense and Would for future tense. So how to use this two in our day to day life. I'm unable to check my answers so,Please let me know where should I find the answer for this question.
Thanks for your efforts.
Do I have to go now?
Does he understand french?
Does she lives there?
Do we need a tutor?
Does it helpful for you?
Do they ask our help?
Bye |

Do you like tea? = A general enquiry about whther you like it or not.
Would you like tea? = An offer of some tea.
'Do' is not the only simple tense verb for forming questions. For example, these sentences more sense put another way than using 'do':
Is it helpful for you?
Are they asking for our help.

The first problem with these questions is that they are not punctuated and do not contain the necessary capital letters.
I suggest you revise them to include this basic requirement. We can then look at the other grammar problems that exist in them.

4. Are we going to market?
5. Are you hurt?
6. Are you paying for this?
7. Is it helpful?
The verb 'to be' is better than 'to do' in these sentences.
