I don't know what it's called, but can you ask like "Does it hurts" or - "Does he loves her"?

From what I know you can't add s to a word after using "does" I don't know how adding the s is called, please let me know if you can.

I want to make sure you can't do that, and it has to be "hurt" and "love"

Thanks

No, you can't do that. When you use a modal or a helping verb, like to do, the main verb stays in bare infinitive form, which is the base form of the verb without to; you do not conjugate the main verb, which means to make it match the subject.

"He eats", but "Does he eat?" not "Does he eats?""
"She helps", but "Can she help?" not "Can she helps?"
etc.
