What does it mean? vs What does it means? #1 (permalink) Wed Dec 17, 2008 20:33 pm   What does it mean? vs What does it means?		  
Hi,

could anyone please tell me which one out of the following two sentences are correct interrogative sentence
Code:
1)What does it mean?
2)What does it means?


Can I use s behind the verb 'mean' or not?

Hi,
why the first one is correct, not second?
we can use s behind verb in simple present for the third singular person, then why is that so?

True, we can and we should, but when an auxiliary verb is being used (Does) the rule has being already applied, therefore the main verb remains in its base form.
