There are also a lot of question in FSE which cover similar topics. See also the question here

What's the correct answer to this question? "Tu ne vas pas à la piscine?"

The following is but an incomplete coverage.

First of all, note that there is a space between the letter and the question mark in French writing system. That is

Puis-je ? Can I?

Qu’est-ce que tu aimes faire le soir ? -> Qu’aimes-tu faire le soir ?

Qu’est-ce que vous aimez faire ensemble ? -> Qu’aimez-vous faire ensemble ?

Vous voulez partir. -> Voulez-vous partir ?

Note also the hyphen (tirer in French nomenclature) between verb and pronoun.

As a rule of thumb:

Subject+Verb (affirmative)=> Verb+Subject (inverted question).

Il mange de la soupe.->Mange-t-il de la soupe ?

Note the t inserted for euphony here.
