When talking in plural but with a countable noun, do you use "do" or "does"?
Like: "Do cod have herd behavior?" vs "Does cod have herd behavior?"
Like: "Do cod have herd behavior?" vs "Does cod have herd behavior?"
- Inglês (EUA)
“Do” is for plural
“Does” is for singular
So your example sentence would be:
“Do cods have herd behaviour?”

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Inglês (EUA)
We use "do" and other plural forms
Do cod have herd behavior?
Sheep don't help me sleep at all.
Fish are swimming past us.
Those moose are huge!

By the way I didn't know "sheep" and "fish" could work like that too. Are just all animals countable nouns that can be plural without adding "s" nor "es"?
- Inglês (EUA)
Unfortunately, it depends. There's no universal rule.
cat --> cats
dog --> dogs
cow --> cows
etc.

You’re welcome!
For fish, it could be written as fishes or fish in plural (same with cod) while sheep is still sheep
It’s one of those exceptions (so you kind of have to memorize them) in a language but generally you would add “s”
