I really need help ~
It �s a grammar test.
The tiltle is using "do" and "does"
Does yo-yo a good student ?
I know we don �t say in this way ~~
But ~ If we only talk about the grammar ~
Is this sentence ( grammar ) wrong ? |

I can �t get the meaning of this sentence very well. Do you mean "Is yo-yo a good student ?", considering that "yo-yo" is a proper name, of course! |

Yes ~~ I know
People will say " Is yo-yo a good student "
But the problem is the test paper only ask to using " do" and " does"
So ~~ If we write "Does yo-yo a good student" ?
Is this sentence �s grammar wrong ? |

I would say the sentence is incorrect. You can �t say a sentence is correct only for it �s grammar, it must have sense, right?
If the test paper only asked to use "do" and "does" it is also incorrect, because you can �t use "do" or "does" in this question - it �s an impossible task! So the student did what he had to do, because he had only those 2 options (which were wrong).
I hope I could help.
