2. Questions with か
…ますか?
か is the spoken question mark
To ask a question, say the statement and add か at the very end. Nothing else changes: no word-swapping, no rising helper verb.
ピザを配達します = "(We) deliver pizza." ピザを配達しますか = "Do you deliver pizza?"
Talking to a shop clerk, taxi driver or repairman, you usually drop "you" entirely; the situation makes it clear.
ピザを配達しますか?
Do you deliver pizza?
時計を修理しますか?
Do you repair the watch?
これを修理しますか?
Do you repair this?
Answering
The store answers はい、します (yes, we do) or いいえ、しません (no, we don't). します is Japanese "do" and Japanese "will do" at once.
はい、配達します。
Yes, (I) deliver.
