Re: Tense problem -- Please help! The correct question is,
What time does the movie start?
The subject 'the movie' agrees with the verb 'does . . . start'. It's the auxiliary 'does' that carries tense. For example,
3rd person singular: Does she like cake?
2nd person singular: Do you like cake?
Hope that helps.
