Trivia Is it correct to replace what does with what's?

[plhbg1]

Yes. Informally, “What’s” is a contraction of “What is,” “What has,” and “What does.”

Examples:

• “What’s (what does) that mean?”
• “What’s (what does) that have to do with anything?”
• “What’s (what has) that child done now?”
• “What’s (what has) been happening while I’ve been away?”
• “What’s (what is) up (happening), Doc?”
• “What’s (what is) the point of my being here?”

 

[Saint Sinner]

Those are all indeed correct. Contraction rules.
