“Does the university have” or “Does the university has”?
0
I do self-study for some English exam and this is a sentence from some online resource, which I suppose to listen and write down.
"Does the university have an ice-hockey team?"
In my opinion, since the university is singular, the word 'have' should be replaced with 'has'.
Please enlight me if I am wrong.

You would say (1) It has one hockey team, and (2) It has two hockey teams. Similarly, you would say (1) Does it have one hockey team?, and (2) Does it have two hockey teams? The singularly or plurality of the object makes no difference.

The construction is "Does [subject] [infinitive]". The infinitive is not conjugated; only the "helping verb" do is conjugated to agree with the subject.
