Hi guys, I�ve been wondering what�s the correct way to ask this question; What does your mother and father do ? Or What do your mother and father do ? I�m leaning towards do as the sentence uses the conjunction AND . Thanks for all the help . Have a nice day

I would say that mother and father is plural so I would use do.

Yes - if you were using a pronoun, it would be they, so what do your mother and father (they) do?
