Do / does

Thanks for your response to my post.

Do / Does XXX taxi services exist in ABC?

Which should I choose 'do' or 'does'? Is the use of 'exist' correct here? What is the best alternative?

Do [plural] exist in ABC?

You use 'taxi services' as a plural noun phrase so it requires 'Do'.

If it was 'a taxi service' then you could have written it as:

'Does a taxi service exist in ABC?'

sundarnazDo / Does *** taxi services exist in ABC?

As shown. I assume ABC is a city. 'exist' is correct.

After auxiliary do (do, does, did) you must use the plain form of the verb (exist).
