Subjects and verbs are inverted in a variety of situations in English. Inverted subjects and verbs occur most often in the information of a question. To form a question with a helping verb (be, have, can, could, will, would, ect.) the subject and helping verb are inverted.
He can go to the movies.
can he go to the movies?
you would tell me the truth.
would you tell me the truth?
she was sick yesterday.
was she sick yesterday?
To form a question when there is no helping verb in the sentence, the helping verb do is used.
He goes to the movies.
Does he go to movies?
you told me the truth.
did you tell me the truth?
