Which one is correct “does he has” or “does he have”?

“Does he have” is correct.

Here is an explanation of the question “Does he have”:

“Does” is an auxiliary verb that is used to form questions in the present tense. It is followed by the subject pronoun and the bare infinitive form of the main verb.

“He” is the subject pronoun that refers to a male person.

“Have” is the bare infinitive form of the verb “to have.” It is used after the auxiliary verb “does” to form a question in the present tense.

Together, the auxiliary verb “does” and the bare infinitive “have” form the present tense conjugation of the verb “to have” when it is used with the pronoun “he.”

So the question “Does he have” is asking if the male person referred to by “he” possesses something.

To form a question in the present tense, you would use the auxiliary verb “do” or “does” followed by the subject and the base form of the verb. For example:

Do you have a car?

In each of these examples, “do” or “does” is used to form a question in the present tense. “Have,” “like,” and “live” are all in their base form, as they are not conjugated for tense.

So, to answer the original question, “does he have” is correct, as it is using the correct auxiliary verb (“does”) and the base form of the verb (“have”).

Here are a few more examples of how to use the auxiliary verb “do” or “does” to form questions in the present tense:

Does he work as a teacher?

Do they have any siblings?

Does she play the piano?

In each of these examples, “do” or “does” is used to form a question in the present tense, and the verb following it is in its base form.

It’s important to note that the auxiliary verb “do” is used with plural subjects (e.g. they, we), while “does” is used with singular subjects (e.g. he, she). For example:

Do you and your friends like to go hiking? (plural subject)

Does your sister enjoy reading? (singular subject)

Remember to use “do” or “does” correctly to form questions in the present tense.
