Is this enough detail? -

The Primary Auxiliary DO, followed by the bare infinitive of the full verb, is used with all full verbs except BE (and, for some speakers, HAVE) for:
Interrogative forms (with S-V inversion): we work – do we work? she works – does she work?
Interrogative-negative forms: Except in very formal speech and writing, the contracted forms are used in negative questions:
Don’t you work there any more? (Do you not work there any more?)
Doesn’t Emma work there any more? (Does Emma not work there any more?)

Exceptions: BE, HAVE and HAVE TO

BE is the only full verb never to use DO as an auxiliary verb in the present simple – or indeed in any other form except for emphatic and negative imperative forms:
Be careful Do be careful. Don’t be late.

HAVE, when used as a full verb, has two main clusters of meanings, which can be broadly considered as [a] possession/ownership (I have a new car/three sisters/some time/little choice/an idea/etc) and experiencing/partaking of (I have dinner/a shower/a baby/a good time/etc)

1. Most American and many younger British speakers use HAVE in both senses as a normal full verb, which requires the primary auxiliary DO like all other full verbs:
I have a new car. Do you have a car? Yes, I do. She doesn’t have a car.

2. Some (often older) British speakers, especially in more formal speech and writing, do not use the primary auxiliary DO with HAVE:
I have a new car. Have you a car? Yes, I have. She hasn’t a car. or She has no car.

3. Many British, and some American speakers use HAVE GOT (technically the present perfect of GET) instead of HAVE with [a] senses especially in less formal speech and writing. DO is never used as an auxiliary with this, and the contracted form is common:
I’ve got a new car. Have you got a car? Yes, I have. She’s got a new car
This is not possible with senses::
I have a new shower in my bathroom. I’ve got a new shower in my bathroom.
I have a shower twice a day *~~I’ve got a shower twice a day~~.
I normally have breakfast in bed. *~~I have normally got breakfast in bed~~.

HAVE TO, denoting some form of obligation, operates as a full verb, using DO as an auxiliary when appropriate:
I have to leave. Do you have to leave? Yes, I do. She doesn’t have to go.
Note that have to is pronounced in normal speech as /hæft?/, and has to as /hæst?/.
In the less formal HAVE GOT TO, HAVE (normally contracted) operates as an auxiliary, and does not use DO:
I’ve got to leave, Have you got to leave? Yes, I have. She hasn’t got to leave.
