This is elementary grammar!
singular:
1st person: I get up
2nd person: you get up
3rd person: he, she, it gets up
Plural
1st person: we get up
2nd person: you (all) get up
3rd person: they get up.
Do you get up
Do I get up
Does he, she, it get up
Do we get up
Do you get up
Do they get up
always S on 3rd person singular

"your brother" refers to the subject pronoun "he" and the helping verb "does" is used with he, she, and it. and "your" is a possessive pronoun. it doesn �t influence the question. it is the noun that comes after it. if the noun is singular, we use "does" but if the noun is plural, we use "do". |
