What is the way to ask question about verb?
In 1965 he ... in the Town Hospital. (to work)
He sometime ... his mother to wash the dishes. (to help)
I expect usage of DO as a main verb:
What did he do in the Town Hospital in 1965?
What does he sometime do to his mother to wash the dishes.
It's especially difficult to make questions for high valency verb, like in second example, because DO-replacement doesn't have necessary valency to keep sentence structure same as original. I added TO to second sentence for this reason (although I am not sure in a sentence correctness).

So please ask questions to verb preserving all original information from the affirmative form (except verb):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valency_(linguistics)
impersonal (=avalent) it rains
intransitive (monovalent/monadic) she sleeps
transitive (divalent/dyadic) she kicks the ball
ditransitive (trivalent/triadic) she gave him a book
tritransitive (quadrivalent/quadradic) I bet her a dollar on a horse
I know only the answer to the second: What does she do? I can guess ditransitive: What did she do with/to him and a book?

Who can make all of them?

Another attempt (please judge it): How were she, he and a book related? What was happened to the book with her and him?
