--explanation--

Does is used as an auxiliary verb to form questions in the Present Simple tense for he, she and it. It is often used to ask for opinions or confirm something. For example:

  • Does he work on the app development team? - This asks if he is part of the team working on the app.

  • Does she manage the database? - This asks if she is responsible for handling the database.

  • How does that feature work on your system? - By adding How to the sentence, this question asks for an explanation about a specific feature.

Lisa uses a question to ask for Bob's opinion about her new app idea. Pay attention to how she uses the question How does that sound to you? to find out what Bob thinks of the app concept.
