Grammar notes

In a question the auxiliary verb comes before the subject.

She has come. (Statement)
Has she come? (Question)

If there is no other auxiliary verb, we use do, does or did to form the question.

He plays well. (Statement)
Does he play well? (Question)
She sings sweetly. (Statement)
Does she sing sweetly? (Question)

Do is not used together with other auxiliary verbs or with be.
