teechrHowever, the ordinary verb "have" sometimes functions as an auxiliary too! e.g.,- Have you any idea how much this costs?- Have you no shame?- Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?
It's not an auxiliary there; it's a full verb.

Traditionally, HAVE like BE, could have interrogative and negative forms as a full verb without an auxiliary. Indeed

After the forms of do (do, does, did), only the plain form of the verb can be used. So with "does", it's always "have".

Does it have ...? / Does it go ... ? / Did it succeed ...? / Does it happen ...?
