Iam asking about the verb have when using it as possessing matter. I know the verb (has) comes with he,she,it and the verb (have) comes with I, you, we, they.

  1. Now,why we say; he has a car, and we say in the question, does he have a car?

My question why not say, does he has a car?

  1. Also, which sentence is correct?

Does he has the responsibility of the accident.
Does he have the responsibility of the accident

If you put a form of do, have, or be in front of a verb, then do, have or be changes according to subject and not the word after it.

Now,why we say; he has a car, and we say in the question, does he have a car?

In the question, the verb does changes according to subject instead of have.

Note that you can say do + verb without asking a question; this is a form of emphasis. So you can see the difference easily:

He likes candy.

He does like candy.

They like candy.

They do like candy.

If have is the second word it follows the same logic.

He has two pieces of candy.

He does have two pieces of candy.

Does he have two pieces of candy?

Do I have two pieces of candy?
