I also made that mistake. But, it is not always necessary. See, for example, the sentences below:

  • Do you like studying English? 

  • Does she study Spanish?

  • They do not live here. 

  • He does not work on Friday.

In the above sentences we do not translate DO and DOES into Portuguese; because the two words are helping us to understand that these sentences are questions (interrogative sentences) or that we are denying something (negative sentences). As the role of "DO" and "DOES" in these sentences is to help us (auxiliary) we say that "DO" is in its function (use) auxiliary verb. See more examples:

  1. I do my homework every afternoon.
  2. She does the dishes. 
  3. Do you live with your parents?
  4. Does she like this kind of book?
  5. He does not use his computer at home. 
  6. They do not live together. 

In sentences 1 and 2 we translate the words "DO" and "DOES". In the others (3 to 5), it was not necessary, since the two words are used only to aid in the formation of interrogative and negative sentences.

It is important to remember that it is also used to talk about activities without a definite description, with the terms: 
something, anything e nothing:

  • I just do my job. 

  • You need to do your homework. 

  • Why don’t you do something? 

  • I’m not going to do anything.

In the second case, it is used alongside the term NOT (do not = don’t). In the following sentences, the main verbs are TO NEED and TO KNOW:

  • Do you need anything? 

  • We don’t need your help.

  • I don’t know anything about science.

  • She does her nails every week. 

  • He never does the dishes. 

When you ask questions or negative phrases with HE, SHE and IT, the DOES also function as a helper, and in those cases, the main actions remain in the infinitive.

  • Does she still live in California? 

  • Does your cat sleep on your bed? 

  • Where does he go to school?

  • She doesn’t want dessert.
