Which girl LIVES on the first floor?
Hello,
I have just read the question mentioned in the subject in our English textbook and I don´t know why it is so because I would say that question in this way: WHICH GIRL DOES LIVE ON THE 1TH FLOOR?
Could you please help me with the explanation?
Many thanks in advance.

Don't use a form of do (do, does, did) when questioning the subject. In this situation you can't invert subject and verb, so do is not used.
Who knows? / What happens if you ...? / Who has the answe
