My first language is German and this was one of the first lessons we ever got in English: how to form questions and that you need to use the verb “do” to do that.
And then we later had to learn the exceptions like “be” and “can” because “do you be stupid?” and “do you can swim?” are definitely not valid English.

‘Do’ do be doo-doo. /jk (and not ‘proper’ grammar for anyone still trying to figure it out.)
