Yes-no questions usually use verb-first order; wh-questions use question words plus V2.

Come you tomorrow?
In Deiner Lernsprache
Im Englischen braucht eine Frage oft ein Hilfsverb vor dem Subjekt, zum Beispiel do/does/did, ein Fragewort am Satzanfang oder eine steigende Stimme.
Do you like coffee?
do you …? = Rahmen für eine Frage
Lernende bilden Fragen manchmal mit der Wortstellung eines Aussagesatzes oder vergessen do/does/did.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
