The sounds in English
So, I was thinking about if native English speakers say the auxiliar verb Do and Does in questions cause I have been watching several series in English and I think that they never say this verb when ask a question.
Furthermore, I think that native speakers make the languaje a little bit complicated for the rest of people because they contract all kind of verbs, like I´ve, I´ll, He´s etc.
I would like to know how I can improve my hearing for undestanding to native speakers. If someone want to help me, pleas add me ;-)

We do use "do" and "does." Though sometimes when we are speaking informally, we leave it out. But to understand English, always include it!
Ex: Did you go to the grocery store? Do you know what his name is? Does she own a bike?

Do we use this auxiliary verb? Yes we do
Do you need to learn the use of this auxiliary verb? Yes you do
Do you need to learn this grammar rule?
Well, kind of, but it is difficult.
Usually, it's best to use your instinct, if it sounds ok, it probably is ok ????
In the simple present and simple past tense, we make questions and negatives with do, does and did. But there are some exceptions to this rule.
See, I told you it was complicated...
In subject questions where we want to find information about the subject, we do not use the auxiliary verb do/does/did.
In object questions where we want to find information about the object, we use the auxiliary verb do/does/did.
And, I know it is easy to blame us native English speakers but, usually it was a foreign invasion that started the problem.
Good luck!
