does

Accomplishes the task

Does is the third person singular present form of do and is used after singular nouns and after he, she, and it.

It contracts with not to form doesn’t.

Its main function, as with do, is to act as an auxiliary verb in questions and negations: What does your brother think about this? He doesn’t like it.
