Excuse me, I'm curious about the distinction between "do" and "does." Could you please explain the difference in their usage and function in the English language? I've noticed they're both used to form questions and affirmations, but I'm having trouble pinpointing the exact difference. Perhaps you could provide some examples to illustrate their distinct purposes? I'm really eager to grasp this concept and improve my grasp of the English grammar. Thank you in advance for your help!

Could you please clarify the context in which you're asking about the "formula for do and does"? In English grammar, "do" and "does" are verbs that are often used as auxiliary verbs to form questions, negatives, and emphatic statements. They don't have a mathematical formula like in algebra or physics. Instead, their usage depends on the subject of the sentence and whether it's singular or plural. For example, "I do my homework" is present tense with a singular subject, while "They do their homework" is present tense with a plural subject. And for questions, you'd use "Do you..." for singular or plural subjects in the second person, and "Does he/she/it..." for singular subjects in the third person. Is there a specific aspect of their usage you're trying to understand?

Could you please clarify if we can use these verbs interchangeably in sentences related to our field? For instance, would it be appropriate to say "This cryptocurrency does have a high market capitalization" or should we stick to "This cryptocurrency has a high market capitalization"?
