When elaborating questions about a third person singular (he, she, or it) you might need to use the auxiliary verb does.
For example: if Alice is curious about Sophie's hobbies and wants to ask Tom, she can say, Does Sophie like hiking? The word does is used here because the subject is Sophie, a third person singular.
Remember, does is used to form questions in the present simple tense for he, she, or it.
Does Tom have any favorite photography themes?
Yes, he does.
No, he doesn't.
The dialogue indicates Tom does have favorite themes.
Yes, he do.
Yes, he do is incorrect; it should be Yes, he does.
No, does he?
No, does he? is not a statement but a question, and it implies doubt or surprise.
