Question mark
You do want to go to the movies?
Is this sentence correct? Can a sentence ending with a question mark be written with the auxiliary verb following the subject?
(Or must it always be written as: Do you want to go to the movies?)

Re: Question mark
Both are correct. The meanings differ.
You do want to go to the movies, don't you?
Situation: a person had agreed to go to the movies, but now seems reluctant somehow.

Must the sentence be written as you wrote it, or may the "don't you" be omitted?
