"What makes you laugh?"

[Nightmare85]

Hey,
First I would like to know if this sentence is correct:
What makes you laugh?

Now I would like to know the same about this:
Does this make sense?

My current opinion:
Make can only be a main verb when we use what/who and maybe some other question words.
If a sentence begins with something else (like does) make cannot be a main verb.
Is this okay?

I'm a bit unsure about this:
When does he make breakfast?

Is it also okay or don't I need the does because when is a question word?

Thank you!

Cheers!

You use question words (such as: who, what, when, where etc) to ask about specific qualities, times, places, people etc They are also known as interrogative pronouns So they can be directly used at the beginning of a sentence to ask question using a main verb; as: .
Who studies German?
What is that?
Which boy won the race?

You can also use a main verb to ask question using, as usual, an auxiliary verb and adopt the same interrogative structure with the question word put at the beginning;
Q. word + aux verb + subject +main verb
Examples:
Who do you like?
What does he do at weekends?
When do you like going out?
Where do you live?
