Hi Hanygeorge38,

You are right - we use the auxiliary verb do/does in questions before the subject:

Do you speak Chinese?
How often does she go to the gym?

Hopefully we can ask anybody about one Habits with do/does.
Am I right?

Thanx

Hello Tadagids,

I'm not completely sure what your question is, but it is true that the simple present tense can be used to talk about habits or habitual activity. If you want to ask whether someone does something habitually or regularly, you might use the interrogative form of the simple present tense:

Does he snore?
Do you usually walk to work?
