Additional follow-up questions:

1. What does "quiere" mean?  How can we remember it?*

2. What does the phrase "quiere comer" mean?

3. In the question, "¿No quiere comer los plátanos solo el mono?:

      do I have to add additional words to questions in Spanish like "does" or "do" to the beginning?

How does it look different from a statement: "El mono no quiere comer los plátanos solo" ?

4. What would the phrase, "El mono rosado y azul quiere comer pingüinos" mean?

*I think "quiere" looks like "query" and when you make a search query on google, it's because you want information on a topic.

Do you have a better association for "quiere"?  Let me know below in the comments section!
