Let's understand how to form an interrogative sentence from a statement in present simple tense:
Step 1: The statement is: "He plays chess."
Step 2: For the present simple tense, use the auxiliary verb "does" for questions with third person singular (he/she/it).
Step 3: The main verb "play" should be in its base form (without -s) when using "does."
Step 4: Therefore, the correct interrogative sentence is:
Does he play chess?
