    What does it means "Rolled on" ?

    As 2006 rolled on, the requests poured in—urgent

    What do you understand by it. When you use the auxiliary, "do/does", the verb is in the bare infinitive "What does it mean?"

    Hi Bhaisahab, is it a mistake to write "What does it means" ? I want to ask ...
    "What is the meaning for the word" something like this

    'What does it means?' is wrong.

    'What does it mean?' is right.

    See if you can deduce the meaning of 2006 rolled on for yourself by using a dictionary such as this one.
