Does he like or does he likes?

HI, in my English book we learn the questions like "Do you like...?" Does he like...?"
Now somebody told me that is not correct- It has to be "Does he likes...?" but ONLY at the word "to like". With other verbs it would still be "Does he swim..." without the "s" at both verbs.

Please- is that correct?

Thank you very much for your help!

" but ONLY at the word "to like". Someone has been giving you very bad advice.

No. When you use "do" or "does" as an auxiliary verb, the main verb is always in the base form.

Do you like ... ?
Does he swim ... ?
I do agree.
He does agree.
etc.

The verb "like" is no different from any other verb in this respect.
